Varicocele rarely causes infertility. But if you remain concerned, your doctor can order a simple sperm count to check it out.

Not all people with varicocele are infertile. If your testicle is of normal size you have a very good chance to be fertile. Either you have it fixed now or you can wait and get it fixed if you are unable to father children after trying for 6 months. Either is acceptable. Good lucck
