No: Varicose veins are completely unrelated, as the others have said. If you are having trouble, you should see a urologist and look for another cause other than your varicose veins.

Leg VV no, scrotal y: Large scrotal varicosities called varicoceles large enough to feel like a bag of worms when standing might affect sex drive or erection for psychological reasons. Leg vv should have no effect. Either way, best consult with urologist who specializes in these problems.

Usually not: Usually problems with the arteries not the veins cause erectile dysfunction.

VV and sex drive.: Varicose veins of the legs have no relationship to a man's sex drive or his ability to have an erection. The erectile process is dependent on the pelvic artery and veins as well as hormonal stimulation. Varicose veins of the legs will not affect this process.
