Semen/Test after Varicocele Repair

[AdamYoung]

Hi,
Has anyone got their testicle varicocele repaired and found success? I have on my left side and because of that my left testicles has become small. I also have low testosterone and low sperm count. I am guessing its because of varicocele. I will be super lucky if my sperm count returns to normal after repair. I am planning to get it done once this covid is over.
So, Has anyone got repaired and found success? Just want to know whats ur thoughts on this? I had it when i was kid. Now i am 37, so not sure repairing will help. Not worried about testosterone but only sperm count.Thanks

Yes, I have had varicocele repair AND a vasectomy later, so have some input on this. I have always had varicoceles (mainly on left like you, the most common) since I was in my 20's. I think about 20% of men get them on average. Mine became painful after heavy workouts training about 5 years ago, so that's when I decided to do something about them. This is also very common as lots of blood pressure goes to groin, especially during strenuous exercise and certain movements like squats, dead-lifts, etc.

Anyway, I researched the various procedures and found probably the best/expert micro-surgeon Dr. Turek in California (Male Fertility and Sexual Health Clinic | Dr. Paul Turek). He ties off the tiny blood vessels instead of snaking a filament in your veins an cauterizing them shut - I really liked his approach. He said my pain would be fixed for life and he was right so far . He has worked on thousands of men and trains other surgeons.

I did expect a minor T bump after that and I actually did go off HRT all-together for almost a year after that and was doing OK, but (still not ideal) as it's hard to reset the axis after being on HRT for years. But everyone is different.

I later returned to Dr. Turek (just last December) for a vasectomy as he's very skilled at that also - he even reverses them (much more difficult). Anyway, I got sperm tested after 3 months and still had some swimmers (this can happen), so I can verify after varicocele I still had plenty of swimmers. I'm pretty sure he said that often varicocele procedure enhances fertility - but you should have a phone consult with him.

I can't remember the insurance he took, etc - but he's the top guy I found for these procedures plus fertility, etc.

Thanks buddy. Sure i will google him. My another worry is injury to blood arteries. Looks like there is less chance of injury in microscopic. I will reach out to him and see when can i get appointment. Thanks for sharing
