Low testosterone issues.

Hi guys , I’ve had varicocele on the left side for 5-6-7 years , don’t remember actually.Soon I’m going to fix it but there is something other that bothers me.Some places on the net says that the Varicocele can actually lower your T. levels , some says that there is a little connection between the two.Now they all says the sings of having lower testosterone.

Decreased energy levels (fatigue)
Decreased sex drive
Difficulty achieving and/or maintaining an erection
Loss of muscle mass (e.g., in AIDS wasting)
Symptoms of depression

I can’t make test for T. levels now , and they are inaccurate too , due to the T. levels change hour to hour.
So I’m gonna ask you some questions.

How often do you have random erections , and do you have them while walking?
How often do you masturbate ?
And how easy can you achieve erection ?

Now these are factors that vary from man to man.But will appreciate if you answer.

At least with low T-Values you will keep your hair, look at the bright side :)

But to answer your questions:

1: About every 2 hour
2: Once or twice a day
3: Basically whenever I want.

Wow Orion2 , this answer crushed me in pieces.I don’t get random erections , only at night and rarely when I’m sitting comfortably on a chair.Masturbate 1-2 times a day.And I must touch the sword to get a good full erection.

Are all the guys like Orion2?And Orion2 , how old are you?

1 - Depends, sometimes once or twice a day, sometimes only when waking (morning wood)
2 - 2 time a WEEK (I save to have sex with my girlfriends ;)
3 - Whenever I want

I’m 26 by the way.

chrono_,
how old are you?

However, if you are going to cut-off varicocele, your testosterone levels will return in the normal range (supposed they are not, now).

I did read somewhere that those who lost one of testicles didn’t had testosterone-levels so much different from normal (never heard of Lance Armstrong?); human-body is a wonderful machine.

1- usual when driving, or if I touch it or have sexual thoughts.
2- 3-4 times per week, one hour sessions.
3- whenever I want.

I’m 44 and I use to have erectile dysfunction, TP changed that.
If I were you I would go ahead and get the surgery if it is really painful.
Your doctor may prescribe testosterone replacement therapy if levels fall to low.

The testicles only take commands from the hypothalamus to make testosterone. The hypothalamus does not know if you have 1, 2, or 3 testicles, it only knows how much testosterone it wants to produce. Losing a testicle would have no effect on testosterone levels, as your other teste would increase in size and increase it’s output of testosterone two-fold.

We really can’t answer your question without knowing your specific symptoms (if any) and your age.
