A member asked:
Varicocele veins if treated then can ur infertility go if you are azospermic due to it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Usually: It is unusual for varicocele to lead to azospermia. Usually it affects sperm motility and or morphology. In general varicoleces are not usually repaired unless they are severe. When azospermia is present, it is important to look for hormonal and genetic causes as well as to make sure there is no obstruction present.
