Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

I have a Grade 3 varicocele without any pain, but it has affected my spermogram. Could you please advise on possible solutions?

Answered by Dr. Caesar Wallad

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

I would recommend assessing the need for microsurgery to ligate the varicose vein. It is crucial to evaluate if the sperm count, mobility, and shape are affected, as they may be interconnected. To alleviate the condition, I suggest reducing high-strain activities and utilizing scrotal support.

Thanks
