Can a varicocele harm pubertal development.

Asked By:stuartfrankk in Chester, TX

I had or even have had(?) a massive varicocele since I was 15. I had embolization at 18. I'm now 21. As to puberty, I have always been late, e.g. any axilliary hair could not be seen any sooner than 17 and a half und even today I actually have no facial hair worth mentioning. My penis is a bit shorter than 3.4 inches. Can this all be caused by a varicocele, that may still be partially there and that was treated comparatively late Can this varicocele have set damage to the development of my body?
