Hi all,

I have a varicocele(varicose vein in the scrotum). It is grade 3 ( largest size). Varicoceles are known to affect fertility mainly, and possibly testosterone and other male function.

My fertility is lower than normal but not too low. My testosterone has been low normal.

My doctor said people who get the surgery to get this repaired have a 50% chance of testosterone improvement, and he had one patient who said he had increased sensation during sex. People mostly get this done for fertility.

Does anyone have experience or know anyone with experience getting the surgery? Has it improved testosterone, or more importantly, given them improvement in pfs effects? Do you think I should get it done? Thanks.
