Varicocele is seen in 15% of men. 35% of them are already infertile from before and 80% of them become infertile after the varicocele. But microsurgery has improved this condition and the male can have a child in 20-60% of cases after Surgery. Smoking causes more pain and tension in the varicocele. STOP SMOKING. Visit your Surgeron for more information.
