A member asked:

Would a varicocelectomy have any affect on the blood flow to the penis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. John Nesbitt answered

No: The blood supply to the penis and the venous drainage of the testicle (varicocele) are different. There is no way surgery for a varicocele should be anywhere near the penile blood supply.
