Can my husband undergo varicocelectomy for fertility purpose?
Patient: Hi, just want to know if my husband can undergo Varicocelectomy for fertility purposes?  In his sperm count test, it showed "O".  But they got sperm inside that was why we did the IVF last year but unfortunate, unsuccessful.  Please advise if it is possible for him.  Thank you. Noemi Doctor: Hi,Thanks for writing to HCM.Varicocele is not directly related to cause low sperm count in men. It is not a cause for decreased motility.But a person having varicocele with low sperm count surgery for varicocele has shown to improve quality of sperms. I would suggest your husband to go with varicocele sugery . And proceed with IVF.Hope I have been helpful.RegardsDr.Ashish Verma
