Answer
A varicocele does not typically cause erectile dysfunction (ED) directly, but it can be a contributing factor in some cases. The main connection is through its potential effect on testosterone. A varicocele can impair the function of the testicles, leading to lower production of this vital male hormone. Since healthy testosterone levels are important for maintaining a strong sex drive (libido) and achieving firm erections, a significant drop in this hormone could lead to symptoms of ED.
By treating the varicocele, it's possible to improve testicular function, restore normal testosterone levels, and consequently, see an improvement in erectile function. It's important to have a thorough evaluation to determine the exact cause of any erectile issues you may be facing. The experienced urologists at SCI hospital can help diagnose the problem accurately. We encourage you to book an online or offline consultation to get expert guidance.
