Can varicocele cause hormonal imbalances?

#1 · 26 October 2024, 6:49 PM

In some cases, varicoceles may impact testosterone production due to the increased temperature around the testicles, affecting testicular function. This can lead to lower testosterone levels, which may cause symptoms like fatigue, reduced libido, mood changes, and decreased muscle mass.

Studies suggest that successful treatment of varicoceles can help restore testosterone levels, improving these symptoms in some men. Regular monitoring of hormone levels can be helpful for men with varicoceles, particularly if they experience symptoms of low testosterone.
