A member asked:
Underwent left varicocelectomy for grade 3 vericocele 4.5 months ago. before surgery..sperm count was 50 million, motility(active+sluggish) 25%+10%..in recent test,count is 22 million, motility(active+sluggish) is 35%+20%.why count less after surgery?

Successful operation: Motility %age now within normal range. Actual sperm count can vary with seminal fluid volume. Best to standardize sperm count by witholding ejaculation for 3 days prior to ejaculation. More recent or frequent ejaculation results in more dilute semen with fewer sperm. Good news is your latest motile sperm %age.
