Can Spermatoceles Or Varicoceles Cause Low Testosterone?
Can spermatoceles and/or varicoceles cause low testosterone. I have had one of these since 2002 and have Low T. I tried to call my urologists to see and his nurse said no way, but I am finding many publications stating the varicocels can cause low T. For instance, WWW.WWWW.WW

Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have varicocele since 2002 and now have been detected to have low serum Testosterone levels.
Testosterone is secreted by interstitial cells of the testis and varicocele in no way has any relation with secretion of testosterone.
Please consult qualified Urologist or Endocrinologist for detail assessment , evaluation, investigations and further treatment.
