Best Answer

A varicocele is an enlarged (varicose) vein in the cord that connects to the testicle. Varicoceles are found in 15% to 20% of all men and in 25% to 40% of infertile men. When varicoceles occur in both testicles, they may contribute to hormone imbalances that cause erectile dysfunction.

How does a marriage survive after a husband has lied to his wife about his erectile dysfunction before marriage?

Although this is a difficult issue remember your husband could not have had erectile dysfunction when you were dating him or engaged or you may not have married him. Certain diseases such as strokes; heart attacks and certainly diabetes can lower the libido of men as can some medications. Males have a difficult time dealing with erectile dysfunction and feel less of a man because of it. Get your mind straight and out of the box of feeling that your husband has lied to you. Your husband may have not understood what his problems were and thought his problem would go away if he was with someone he loved. Men have a difficult time seeking help for such problems and find it extremely embarrassing to see a doctor. However, it is up to you to love him enough to be patient; stop blaming him for lying and see your family physician because there are medications to help this problem.

What would cause erectile dysfunction in a 25 year old male?

It is a common myth that impotence or erectile dysfunction is inevitable with age; this is simply not the case. Impotence can be developed at any age and can be a wide range of reasons, including psychological and physical. The first thing that I would suggest is to visit your own doctor so that any physical reason could be discounted with testing. This can be very helpful and tell a lot about your condition to a doctor as well as helping to identify any newly formed condition to which impotence can be an early indicator, such as diabetes. With physical reasons no longer a factor after testing then the cause would be psychological. At such a young age it is more than likely that you are suffering with some form of performance anxiety or other psychological ailment which is having this detrimental effect on your sexual function. If indeed it is psychological than that is good news, as it is more than likely that impotence will only be temporary in your case and until your sexual function returns to normal a doctor may be able to prescribe you with Viagra or an alternative equivalent so that you can still continue with your sex life despite your temporary erectile dysfunction.
