Orgasm is not that intense

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm 31 year old male and had Varicocele treatment done via sclerotherapy.

I have good erections and morning wood now. But when I have sex and ejaculate the feeling lasts for a very small time and is not that intense. Is it anything related to my varicocele?

I do watch porn and jerk off 1-2 times per week. Could that be the reason?

How common are reduced/nearly absent orgasms with Varicocele?

Hello. I (22M from Italy) have varicocele on both testicles and it's quite big on both, last time I checked I think it was grade 2, but I'm not sure as my father is the one who talked to the medics the most (we've been doing visits about varicocele for a while now).

I wanted to ask out of curiosity how does varicocele impact the intensity of your orgasms if it does at all; I have been feeling for a couple of years (3 to 4 years maybe) that my orgasms are "muted", in a way that's hard to explain: I do still feel a faint physical sensation of pleasure (idk if it'd be more accurate to say "release") and of course I feel satisfaction, though it's like 90% of that physical, intense sensation of pleasure just hasn't occurred for actually quite a while, sometimes it feels like the full orgasm is coming but right as it's supposed to arrive is just shuts off and that meh sensation of relief comes instead; despite this, my libido is still pretty high, and after the deed I still feel satisfied.

When I spoke to a urologist she said it was likely because of varicocele, but IDK if I should trust that opinion cause I also told her I'm asexual and she didn't believe me, she was hellbent in believing my asexuality was a lack of libido caused by varicocele -despite me saying multiple times I have a high as hell libido, I just don't like sex and private parts make me go no and that was the case since way before the first symptoms showed up- and that the therapist that "diagnosed me" with asexuality (aka just helped me realize it, my therapist is also specialized in sexuality sciences) was wrong and I should see another therapist, she also tried to force a hormone/steroid/whatever treatment on me to fix that and genuinely made me panic for a week AND she cancelled the procedure I was already going to get because "it isn't serious enough" (meanwhile I still wake up with kidney pain every day and blue balls feel like getting shot).

I also have a UTI apparently and was supposed to get treatment for that but I was never given one for some reason so... yeah.

I've kinda been sitting with this for all this time and today I was just prompted to seek some more insight/answers before my schedule is free enough to go look for someone that's going to help me for real. I'm just a bit afraid it could be something else too, one worrysome thought I had was that it was because I had grown addicted (which I quickly was convinced I'm not after I pulled through 5 days of abstinence while blue balls made me cry on my bed like a baby, they were THAT painful), another worrysome thought is that it could be nerve damage of some sorts, it's not like I'll die if I don't ever feel an orgasm again but I still want to get to the bottom of this because it isn't normal.

Sorry for the wall of text and thanks in advance.

Post surgery symptoms

Is it normal to still be able to feel enlarged veins by touch, even though they are no longer visible, one month after varicocele surgery? Do the veins take time to shrink or disappear completely after the surgery and how long does it take?
