It is understandable that you are stressed, but your current information is more reassuring than alarming. You had a grade 1 varicocele in 2021, but your recent urologist examination found no palpable varicocele and symmetrical testes without obvious structural changes. Therefore, it would not be appropriate to assume that the old varicocele is responsible for your current erection or semen concerns. Varicocele is generally considered for treatment when there is a clinically palpable varicocele along with infertility and abnormal semen parameters, rather than for erection changes alone.
The reduced morning erections, weaker spontaneous erections and perceived changes in penile size/girth can have multiple contributing factors. Your weight of 100 kg at 160 cm is also clinically relevant, because excess body weight can adversely influence sexual and hormonal health. Semen quantity and colour can naturally vary between ejaculations and, by themselves, do not establish poor fertility.
Next Steps
The
testosterone assessment your doctor has advised is a reasonable step in evaluating reduced spontaneous erections and libido. If fertility is a concern, semen quality should be assessed objectively rather than judged from appearance or volume; semen parameters are variable and individual parameters alone do not reliably determine fertility. If your urologist remains concerned about a recurrent/subclinical varicocele, further evaluation can be considered, but surgery or embolisation should not be undertaken simply to improve erection quality when no clinical varicocele is currently found.

Health Tips
At your current height and weight, gradual weight reduction should be an important part of your sexual-health strategy. Combine regular physical activity with adequate sleep, a balanced diet and stress management. Avoid smoking, excessive alcohol and recreational substances. Most importantly, stop repeatedly checking your penis size, semen colour/volume and morning erectionsâthis can create a cycle of anxiety and further interfere with natural erections. Your previous grade 1 varicocele does not mean that your sexual function will progressively deteriorate, and the reassuring examination you had yesterday is a positive finding. Thank you
