Few studies do hint that children who had fathers but were not involved in their upbringing had more testosterone.

Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...

Take a ANTI SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE ANTIBODY (ASCA) IGA Test or Take a URINE ROUTINE + CULTURE SENSITIVITY Test

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have a low sperm count issue and recently had a Doppler test. Both testes and epididymis are normal in size, location, and echotexture. No focal lesion is seen and no free fluid is noted in the tunica vaginalis on either side. Both spermatic cords appear normal with no dilated vascular channels. No evidence of torsion is noted on Doppler interrogation of the testes and spermatic cords. Reversal of flow on Valsalva maneuver is noted in the left spermatic cord, grade I. No reflux is noted on the right side. The conclusion is left sided grade I varicocele. I have attached both semen analysis and Doppler reports. No other abnormality is seen. Please help me.
