varicocele and infirtility

It 'widely believed that varicoceles are the most common cause of infertility, although this is discussed. 39% of men who are treated for infertility have a varicocele. Among those who have the father of a child, but now are unable to do so, 80% have a varicocele. The good news is that fertility can be restored when the varicocele is treated.

What is a varicocele? When the veins that lead upward from the testicles toward the heart is abnormally swollen, a way valves within the veins and it is not difficult for blood to be pumped up against gravity. Backup of blood in the veins around the testes, the extension and expansion, the formation of a varicocele. Without an adequate flow of blood, testicles are undernourished, polluted, and overheated.

Warming, is suspected of being the main culprit in male infertility. Should be 4-6 degrees cooler than sperm in body temperature. That is why the scrotum hangs below the body. In fact, a Japanese method of birth control is nothing more than for men to take hot baths a day. Some studies show that an increase in scrotal temperature of only one degree Fahrenheit can reduce fertility by as much as 40%.

Having a varicocele does not necessarily mean they have fertility problems. Only 25% of men with varicoceles have a fertility problem. In fact, many men with large varicoceles have excellent sperm counts.

Often, a problem of fertility, which seems to be caused by a varicocele is found to be caused by something else. Varicocele surgery will result in an improvement in sperm motility, and only 30% of patients. People leading infertility clinics subsidiaries contend that the evidence shows that the pregnancy rate does not improve after varicocele surgery and therefore it is better to spend your money is in your clinic for assisted reproduction "to spend their money in varicocele surgery. I am skeptical of their claims.

I found this gem in an infertility clinic website: "Today, most experts recommend infertility infertile men with varicoceles going to consider in IVF, rather than surgery for varicocele. FIV is a service offered by infertility specialists. The surgery is not the varicocele. Basically what they say is "We advise you to spend money in our services, not elsewhere."

Doctors say that after varicocele repair improves semen quality in 67% of patients with improvement in the majority of sperm motility rather than sperm. The pregnancy rate is as high as 40% after the first year and 60% after the second year, against 10 percent with a rate of pregnancy without varicoceles. The average pregnancy is 6 to 9 months after surgery.

Improvement of semen after surgery may not be immediate, as it takes 3 months from the date on which it was born a sperm until they are ready for action (70 days to 15-20 days to mature and transit through the ductal system). It takes a year to create a child. Three months in sacks after 9 months in the womb. The sperm fertilizes the eggs that may be ten years at the time of fertilization.

Several studies have shown a decrease in testosterone levels in men with varicoceles, however, is often still within the normal range.

For infertile men with low testosterone levels in serum, removal of the varicocele has been shown to improve serum levels of testosterone.

Varicoceles usually appear on the left side of the scrotum, but may involve both sides. Varicoceles are not a health risk and do not require treatment.

If you have been diagnosed with low sperm count, you should know that the semen quality and quantity are not constant and tend to vary greatly within a short period of time. Therefore, you should take several tests over a period of time prior to acceptance as a valid diagnosis.
