Hello and welcome to HCM,
In a healthy semen, the active sperm motility should be atleast 50 %.
Active motility less than 50% can lead to infertility.
Varicocele is a condition wherein there is collection of fluid in the outer coverings of the testis. The patho-physiology of varicocele is an abnormal communication between abdominal sac and the sac formed between the testicular coverings.
This accumulation of fluid may interfere with sperm functions like number, motility and morphology.
The abnormal communication has to be repaired to prevent the accumulation of fluid.
Correction of this abnormalty can improve the sperm motility.
Consult your surgeon.
Thanks and take care
