Patient's question:
Sexual dysfunction, weak erection, premature ejaculation, unable to complete sexual lifeDoctor's answer:
The surgery for varicocele is simple, but the sexual dysfunction issues you mentioned are generally not caused by varicocele, and even after surgery, it may not necessarily solve the problems you want to address.Varicocele mainly affects fertility, so the indications for surgery are: 1) clear pain symptoms that impact daily life, and 2) impaired sperm quality or moderate-to-severe varicocele that is feared to affect fertility. If you have no pain and have already had children, your varicocele is moderate in severity, and you may choose not to have surgery.
