While the primary concerns with varicoceles involve fertility and potential pain, some research suggests that they may also affect testosterone production. The testes produce testosterone, a hormone that influences energy levels, muscle mass, mood, and libido. Since varicoceles can disrupt testicular function, this may lead to lower testosterone levels in some men. Low testosterone can cause fatigue, mood changes, and reduced muscle mass, among other symptoms. Although more research is needed to confirm this link definitively, addressing varicoceles may help improve testosterone levels for those experiencing hormonal imbalances alongside other varicocele symptoms.
