How does an incipient varicocele on left testicle affect fertility?
Patient: Hello Doctor, we have been trying to conceive for the last 3 years and still looking for the solution to our problem, my wife is consulting a specialist, and on my side I run some spermogram studies to see what the numbers where, so this is what I got so far, Volume: 4.5 ml; Count: 124.500.000 per ml; Motility: 15% (Fast Linear Progression), 25% (Slow Linear Progression), 30% (without linear motion), 30% (dead); Morphology: 70% (Ref: 30%).I am 37 my wife 36. Besides an ultrasound says that I have an incipient varicocele on my left testicle. What's your opinion of this, is it ok ? Doctor: HIWell come to HCMI really appreciate your concern, even if the amount of ejaculated semen is little less but the sperm count is okay, and this this is nothing to worry, there are enough chance of conception even with the history of varicocele, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
