I am facing issues with making my wife conceive, doctors diagnosed that i have varicocele and my semen analysis is not stable, do i need surgery?

Consider it...: If you have been fully evaluated, and the only pathology identified is a varicocele(s), then I would suggest that ligation of your varicocele(s) would be your best option. 40% of men with difficulty conceiving have a varicocele.
