Final Advice on Varicoceles


There is a lot of conflicting advice on Varicoceles and how they may affect sterility. Surgery for Varicocele is strictly elective and no one should be rushed into. 

For best advice, talk to a reputable urologist. Ask questions and if in doubt seek a second opinion. Whilst there are some who say Varicocele affect sterility, there are is also data that show that 
Varicoceles have no bearing on sterility. 

The last thing you want is to undergo an unnecessary surgical procedure that has a real risk of damaging your sexual organ. If you have no symptoms- leave the Varicocele alone. If you have symptoms, wear scrotal support panties. Both are reasonable treatments. One should only undergo Varicocele surgery if there is documentation of abnormal sperm and that one is unable to father a child.
