Can a varicocele cause premature ejaculation?

By Rebeca Reus BSc, MSc (embryologist).
Last Update: 03/01/2024

No, a varicocele cannot cause premature ejaculation.

For the erectile function of a male with varicocele to be affected, it would be necessary for the varicocele to severely damage both testicles, causing a decrease in testosterone levels and thus causing erectile dysfunction. However, this does not happen in men with varicocele.
