Hello,

Varicocele can be easily corrected with surgery or embolization. Even though infertility is unlikely to occur post surgery, but Varicocele by itself is associated with sub-fertility. The repair of Varicocele have little effect on treating sub-fertility, it corrects only the problem like dilated veins, and dull pain. I would suggest you get the surgical correction done as it will not have any impact on your sexual activity later in life. Moreover, you can consult a Urologist, and discuss possible methods to improve your fertility if needed in future.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ayesha Shareef, General & Family Physician
