Varicocele, male infertility?

Question: My husband and I have been married for 7 years and we have never used protection. We have actively been trying to concieve for 4 years, with nothing....I am fine but he found out he has varicocele with a low sperm count. Has anyone had a experience with this? Is the surgery painful? Is it a guarentee that it will bring back his sperm count? Any advise or experiences would be helpful.

Answers:
Hi TW, there are three types of surgery and one so called "non surgical" procedure. The three surgeries all involve surgical ligation, i.e. surgery to tie off the faulty veins. Please look artile: http://www.askedweb.com/askedweb/varicoc...
In a conventional varicocelectomy the doctor makes a two or three inch incision below the groin area or in the abdomen. He goes in and ties off the offending veins. This procedure is performed on an outpatient basis (i.e. no overnight hospital stay) using general or spinal anesthesia.

Your husband may need to avoid strenuous activity for several days or even weeks after surgery. Most men are able to go back to work within three to four days.

This is the most common procedure. You may have a hard time finding a doctor who can do one of the other procedures, get a thorough examination for surgery and get consultation.
