How do varicoceles affect sexual health?

#1 · 26 October 2024, 6:52 PM

Varicoceles can influence sexual health by impacting sperm production and potentially lowering testosterone levels, which may lead to reduced libido. Some men report discomfort during sexual activity due to the pain or heaviness associated with varicoceles.

Treating the varicocele often improves symptoms and may enhance sexual health by stabilizing testosterone levels, alleviating pain, and restoring fertility. However, the impact on sexual health varies from person to person, and discussing individual concerns with a healthcare provider can help clarify expectations.
