Brief Answer:
Surgery helps

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

I think you are getting late by unnecessarily taking some medicines which will never work in increasing the sperm count.

Varicocele once known must have been operated the moment you knew you have it. Timely operation does help.

I would suggest the Following:
To find a General Surgeon or Urologist, get physical examination done and repeat the semen analysis again to confirm. Please discuss in detail and insist on a classical caricocelectomy operation. Just clipping the testicular vein in the abdomen does not help to improve the counts. It has to be a surgery where the mass is removed and the testicle is bit elevated.
Scrotal support- just to elevate the scrotum- not to be compressed.
No tight underwear, Pants.
Avoid hot places.
Have a scrotal bath with cold water from the tap (not iced), you can sit in the tub or a bathtub. All these things to try to reduced the temperature of the scrotum and the testis. For a normal sperm production the temperature of the testis has to be 2 degrees less than the body temperature.

Your Surgeon will also look for other causes.

You should get the surgery for Varicocele as early as possible.
Please post the reports of the Color Doppler and semen analysis and others attached to this query.

I hope this answer helps you to take positive steps towards health, please feel free to ask for further clarification if you need to. By the way where are you staying?

Brief Answer:
Yes , you can...

Detailed Answer:
When was the report 45 million and 1.98 million ( dates) ?
When was the varicocele diagnosed ? What is the grade of varicocele?

Usually the results after the surgery if done properly and the care taken from now on can give good results.
Which area of XXXXXXX are you staying ? I will try to find the one and / or you can certainly ring the office of Healthcaremagic to get a list. I am in XXXXXXX a bit away from XXXXXXX but basically passed from XXXXXXX

Let us try to find out.
Till then start the supportive management as I have already outline above.

Brief Answer:
Get Left operated ASAP.

Detailed Answer:
Seen the reports.
See how drastically the counts fell from 45+ to the figures you noted within 7 months.

Varicocele grade II on left and I on right. Get the left operated as early as possible.
Please call Healthcaremagic to get the list ; I have already asked Doctor friends in XXXXXXX to get the names of reputed Surgeons dealing with Varicocele Surgery. We like to do Varicocelectomy in a Classical manner to get the results. Have you got contacts in XXXXXXX - some relatives or friend.

We have a facility that you can talk to me via Healthcaremagic, please contact them.

It is better to undergo a Physician's check-up and blood- CBP with ESR, BT, CT, blood sugar, urea and creatinine, urine , ECG and X-ray chest to get a fitness for anesthesia and Surgery from a Physician before Surgery. Get the Review Color Doppler of the scrotum and USG of the whole abdomen- particularly for the genito-urinary system.

Do not worry much, as there is still time to get the things corrected if God-willing.

Brief Answer:
Please call through the office.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your faith. You can call me on telephone which is routed through the office of Healthcaremagic and then we can discuss about all points you have noted.

By the time, please get the all the investigations I have noted above to make sure there is no medical problem. Get them tomorrow and please keep me posted here. This will help for fitness for anesthesia and surgery and also helps to rule out medical conditions.

It takes a few days after surgery for recovery, if the first dressing which done after 2 to 3 days is fine the patient can be discharged.
