A member asked:
Is it true vericocele can lower testosterone? if so will the missing testosterone come after an embolization? if not what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: There is evidence that serum testosterone levels rise following varicocele repair. The degree to which it rises may not be significant in all cases. I am not aware of any data regarding testosterone levels after embolization, but i suspect that if a study were done, the results would be similar to surgery. Hope this helps!
