Varicocele: The surgery can improve your testosterone level, although ,I think that 3 weeks may be too soon to see a significant change. However, the improvement in the erection quality is a good sign. As to the pain, this may be related to the proximity recent surgery to your penis. Wait a few weeks to see if the pain decreases as the surgical sites heal. If it persists see the doctor who did the surgery,
