Do you guys know about Varicocele? – Supposedly it is the most common cause of male infertility. According to the National Institutes of Health, about one out of every six couples will have problems getting pregnant. Female infertility is the primary problem about 40% of the time, male infertility is a factor about 40% of the time, and a combination of male and female factors come into play about 20% of the time.
Varicocele accounts for as much as 40% of male infertility and 80% of secondary male infertility (when trying to conceive after having at least one child already). The exact cause of varicocele is unknown, but according to one report it is believed that a varicocele forms when the valves inside the spermatic cord prevent blood from flowing as it should. Often there are no signs or symptoms of varicose and the condition is rarely painful.
There are methods to detect varicole and effective treatments for this condition. The surgery to correct varicocele is called varicocele repair or varicocelectomy and after this procedure about 50% of males are able to go ahead and father a child within a year.
