I've been diagnosed with grade 3 varicocele and my semen analysis shows moderate oligoasthenozoospermia. Should I go for varicocele surgery and if so, which method works best? Will it help improve my sperm count and motility
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, for a grade 3 varicocele with moderate oligoasthenozoospermia, varicocele surgery is generally recommended as it can improve sperm count and motility, and increase the chances of natural pregnancy. Surgical ligation or microvascular embolization are the most common surgical methods and both can be effective.

View allI'm looking at my semen analysis report and I'm a bit concerned about the results. It says my progressive motile sperm count is 30, non-progressive motile count is 25, and in total, the motile sperm count is 45. I'm wondering if these numbers are okay when trying to have a baby with my wife, or if I should be consulting a doctor to work on increasing that progressive motile count. Is a count of 30 generally good enough for us to conceive, or is there something I should be doing?
WHO standards place desired progressive motility count at 32%. Overall motility at 40%. It may be advisable to visit a sexual health consultant and obtain a more detailed treatment plan.

Is there any negative impact of masturbation on sexual health? Also, would it be okay if I masturbate around 5-6 times a week? I'm getting married soon, and I'm a bit worried about the size of my penis. Could you let me know what the average size is?
The typical erect penis is usually 5 to 6 inches long with a circumference of 4 to 5 inches.Masturbation is only considered a problem when it inhibits sexual activity with a partner, is done in public, or causes significant distress to the person. It may cause distress if it is done compulsively or interferes with daily life and activities
