Do varicose veins have an effect on an erection?
12 doctors weighed in across 5 answers
No... : Varicose veins cause leg swelling, pain, but not impotence per se. A varicocele, however, involves the testicular venous supply known as the pampiniform plexus in the spermatic cord. Primary varicoceles are of young men 15-30, but acquired varicolceles suggest some pelvic issue such as malignancy.

Erection/vv: Varicose veins in the legs will have no affect on the ability to have an erection. An erection is due to the veins (dorsal veins) of the penis filling with blood. There are many causes of erectile dysfunction and you should see your urologist for a full evaluation.
