Hello,
thanks for using health care magic.
Varicocele is an enlargement of veins in the scrotum. It presents
with varying discomfort at the testicles and may increase to become
palpable.
The two dreaded complications of varicocele are
infertility and atro-
phy of the testes. But then not all varicoceles can lead to complications
Varicocele is known to decrease
sperm count and the quality of sperms
thus contributing to infertility.
However, varicocele repair is indicated when there is progressive
atrophy of testes and or abnormal
semen analysis results and or
uncontrollable pain. The absence of these does not warrant surgical
treatment as varicocele is a common finding.
The doctors have probably concluded that your infertility is related to the varicocele which ofcourse is an indication for surgery.
Surgery is needed as a corrective procedure has to be done on the dilated veins that result in poor semen qualities that is causiing you the infertility.
You should consider having the surgery done by an experienced
urologist.
Best regards and hope this helps you.
