  1. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    My Doc is talking about putting me on Clomid instead of T. Does that make sense? My LH and FSH levels are normal high and I have primary not secondary hypogonadism. Im confused. Any insight appreciated.

  2. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    Thanks. Did you got straight to the shots or did you try the gel? Seems like everyone that has done the gel did not have the best results?

  3. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    Thanks. I'll have to wait and see. Who knows how long I had the varicocele. What gets me is that my doc knew about it and since I had no problems having kids (have four of them) he wasnt concerned about it. I think now that any man with a grade 2 or 3 should have it repaired. My surgery was...

  8. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    I found another study from 2004 which states that the large majority (91.5%) responded favorably to varicocele treatement in terms of t levels, both free an total. Patient age and V grade had no effect on results. As you can see, Im trying to convince myself before the surgery that this will...

  9. VARICOCELE...can it effect testosterone?

    Thanks. My GP has known about this for years but like most they just say its no big deal. I did not have fertiltiy problems as I have 4 kids, so the docs are like no big deal. Now that Im older and my T is low, it is a big deal. The recent study I have cited to did say that 30% of men did...
