Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Bilateral varicocele sometimes causes testicular atrophy and thus decreases the levels of testosterone in your body. Falling levels of testosterone are a matter of concern and need a serious and detailed investigations and treatment by a urologist.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
