My father is 58 and has a blocked urethral stricture. Are there any permanent surgery options for this, not just temporary fixes?

I'm really worried because I've been diagnosed with a varicocele grade 3, and my right and left testis seem to be normal. According to the doctor, the veins are dilated and measure 3 mm at rest. My semen analysis shows sperm motility is only 18, while it should be 50 or more. The doctor mentioned that my infertility might be due to this varicocele issue. Could this really be affecting my fertility, and what are my options?

With a Grade 3 Varicocele diagnosis, characterized by dilated veins measuring 3mm at rest, and low sperm motility of 18%, your doctor's assessment that the varicocele is likely contributing to your infertility is reasonable; consider consulting a urologist or andrologist to discuss surgical options, such as varicocelectomy, to repair the varicocele and potentially improve sperm motility and overall fertility.
