Hi doctor,
I am a 23 year old male. I was diagnosed to have grade 1 varicocele. I attached USG report. Can varicocele cause infertility? From the report, kindly let me know my testicle size. Is my testicle size normal? Recently, I have been putting weight, especially my lower body increases more than my upper body. Fat sticks to thighs and buttocks, which are embarrassing to me. I have undergone total testosterone. Is my report normal? I gave sample at 12 PM. Even at that time total T value should lie in between average, but my T value falls to a lower value. Why? Is that due to small testicle? My penis size is 5 inches and girth is 4.5 inches on erection. Is this normal? Will the size of testicle reduce with age? Please clarify my doubts.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- You have insignificant varicocele and that will not affect fertility. Your testicle size is normal.
- Testosterone level is low normal. Penis size of more than 3.5 inches is normal.
- For fat in the lower body and for low testosterone you need to do the following blood tests. Serum TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone) and estradiol.
- Testes size may change over the years, but your size is normal.

Hi doctor,
When should I give the blood sample for the mentioned tests? Is it in the morning before 7 AM?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- You can give blood sample at 7 to 9 AM or 2 to 4 PM.
- LH (luteinizing hormone) should be tested with serum, three samples taken at intervals of 30 minutes and mixed together. There is no need for empty stomach.
