Patient's question:
Hello, may I ask if varicocele affects testosterone secretion?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele can lead to damage of sperm-producing cells in the testicles due to long-term congestion, subsequently affecting the testicles' sperm production function and hormone secretion function, and impairing sexual function. If varicocele persists for a long time, it will inevitably result in reduced testosterone levels and decreased male hormones. If you have not yet had children, the best course of action is surgery, as medication is ineffective. You may want to consider medication, but if you do not believe me, you can consult any doctor (unless the doctor is exceptionally incompetent). Only surgery can resolve your varicocele.
