Hello

Yes your concern is right, vericocele can lead to decreased sperm production and quality and is often a common cause of impotency. There is no need to worry about as it is a fully treatable condition.

I suggest you to visit your Urologist and get a consultation for the proper treatment.

I hope i have answered your query.
