[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 179775, member: 3"] Some other studies showed no effect, though. [B]Objective:[/B] To investigate effect of microsurgical varicocele repair on sexual functions and serum total testosterone level in infertile hypogonadal men with varicocele, and also to determine factors that might predict improvement in total testosterone level after surgery. [B]Methods:[/B] The study included 202 infertile hypogonadal men (total testosterone level of <3.5 ng/mL) with varicocele who underwent microsurgical sub-inguinal varicocele repair. [B]Results:[/B] Mean serum total testosterone level significantly increased from 2.55 ± 0.66 ng/mL to 3.72 ± 1.34 ng/mL after varicocelectomy ([I]p[/I] = .000), and 105 patients (52%) had serum total testosterone level of ≥3.5 ng/mL after the surgery. Mean international index of erectile functions (IIEF-EF) score significantly increased from 27.47 ± 2.96 to 28.61 ± 2.02, post-operatively ([I]p[/I] = .000). Of the patients who had pre-operative IIEF-EF score of ≤26, 65.5% had IIEF-EF score of ≥26 after varicocelectomy. Of the patients who had pre-operative decreased libido, 86.6% had post-operative increased libido. Only older patient age was the predictor for having total testosterone level of ≥3.5 ng/mL after the surgery ([I]p[/I] = .031). [B]Conclusions:[/B] Data suggest that serum total testosterone level, IIEF-EF score and sexual libido significantly increase after varicocele surgery. As the age increases, total testosterone level increased after varicocele surgery. Therefore, varicocele repair could be offered to hypogonadal men with clinically varicocele.
