Varicocele and Low Testosterone - PubMed

6 hours ago

Varicoceles affect 15% of the general male population and are more common in men with fertility issues.
Varicocele repair can increase total testosterone levels by approximately 80 to 100 ng/dL.
Varicoceles are the most common correctable cause of male infertility, linked to impaired spermatogenesis and androgen deficiency.
Current guidelines recommend varicocelectomy for men with palpable varicocele, infertility, and abnormal semen parameters.
The role of varicocelectomy in treating testosterone deficiency is supported by increasing data but requires further evaluation through prospective RCTs.
