Results of surgery

  • Surgery for painful varicocele: most patients with pain from a varicocele will have a major improvement in pain, or even complete pain relief.
  • Surgery for fertility: Several studies demonstrate that sperm numbers and motility improve after varicocele surgery. Some studies suggest that couples who have the varicocele fixed are 30 to 50% more likely to get pregnant that couples that do not have their varicocele fixed.
