Hello, I have had varicocele for many years and sometimes I thought of getting it corrected but I came to know about complications as well. I do not have pain or discomfort but it occurs only if I do intense workout, so I stopped that and started doing light workout. My main issue is reduced fertility as I do not feel as aroused as before varicocele. I do get nightfall once or twice in a week. Reduced fertility and mental disturbances bother me and I sometimes feel underconfident while speaking with someone. Please check my report and advise based on the report?

Varicocele can affect sperm quality. If fertility is your concern, semen analysis is important. If no pain or other symptoms, surgery not always needed. Psychological stress can also affect libido.

I recently received my semen test report, which mentions teratozoospermia and shows a sperm morphology of 3 percent. I would like to know if this is a serious issue and whether it can be treated or improved.

Do they check testosterone levels in routine blood work?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My husband has undergone two seminal fluid tests, one after 2 weeks and another after 2 months to check for azoospermia. I would like help interpreting these reports and understanding what the results indicate.
