A member asked:
Is it ever that a man with varicocele of the testicles still have children?

Varicocele: Most varicoceles do not result in infertility. Having said that, if one has been diagnosed with certain types of male sub-fertility, ligating the varicocele can improve his fertility sometimes.

Still possible.: A varicocele is a mass in the scrotum caused by defective valves in the testicular veins, which cause blood to pool, and the veins to expand. The pooling blood raises testicular temperature and affects testosterone and sperm production, which can affect fertility. Men can still have babies w/ this, but the odds are lower. Tx safely w/ varicocelectomy, ligation, or embolization.
