Patient's question:
Hello, two months ago I had varicocele surgery, and now I've noticed that premature ejaculation has reappeared during intercourse. I want to know if varicocele can lead to impotence and premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele rarely causes erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation, unless it is extremely severe and interferes with male hormones, which might then lead to premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. Generally, premature ejaculation is seen due to conditions such as sensitive glans, excessive foreskin, or prostatitis. To address premature ejaculation, it is essential to treat the underlying cause. You can visit the urology department for a physical examination. If the glans sensitivity is the cause, the penile (penile dorsal nerve block) can be used for treatment. Alternatively, Western medicine can be used initially. If there is excessive foreskin, circumcision can be performed.
