I made an ultrasound and the urolog told me that I have a problem with one of my vessels in my testicles and that can affect the quality of my sperms. Hence, he wants that I make an exam to check my quality sperms. Im worried and inwoul like to know what is the probability to be infertile or its just a normal problem that can be solve with an operation. Thanks in advance.
Hello, First could you tell us the exact ultrasound report. A blood vessel problem commonly means a varicocele, but there could be other causes as well. If it is a varicocele (enlarged veins around the testis), there is a slightly higher chance of the condition affecting the sperms (does not mean everyone with a varicocele has an abnormal sperm). It is advisable to get a semen analysis done to see what is the state of the semen and then decide on the further treatment. You have been asked to get a semen analysis to make sure it is okay. After the semen analysis report your doctor will advise regarding the next course of treatment. Take care
