Hey everyone,
I'm new to the forums so firstly apologies if this is the wrong place to post this.
I have recently got into a new relationship and have decided to finally get myself checked out as I had found what I thought was a lump on my left testicle.
From examination of my testicle, it was diagnosed as a moderately large Varicocele. My testosterone was checked at 8pm in the evening and was 9.7nmol/l and the Dr recommended this was retested in the AM to check my morning levels.
Once this was checked, it had increased to 10.2nmol/l but hadn't increased as much as he had hoped - he does however think it could be stemming from the Varicocele which is causing significant discomfort. I am scheduled to have a Varicocele Emobilization procedure in July to remove it.
The biggest symptoms of low T I have been experiencing is low mood, issues with my weight and issues with my erections - I can get them no problem at all, it's the maintaining them that is the issue. Throw in a tight foreskin into the mix and it's not a great combination as I'm sure you can imagine.
Overall, does my symptoms and levels sound like something the Varicocele could be causing?
