A member asked:

After varicocele surgery a string like vessel showed up along penis shaft down went to the dr he gave me hirudoid does this problem affect fertility?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varicocele is gone: The varicocele is gone and your fertility has gone up. Lose the profertil as you probably do not need it. I think you may be able to conceive
