Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have varicocele. It does not hurt or anything, and I never actively tried to impregnate a woman. So I do not have any idea if I am producing proper sperm but are varicoceles linked to infertility? I took a home sperm test, and I saw a faint line come back positive.
Hello, Welcome to the icliniq The varicocele is one of the cause of infertility. It can decrease sperm count. So rather than doing home test I suggest you get checked your semen analysis in nearby pathology or andrology laboratory. You can revert back with reports once done. Hope I have answered your question. Take care
