does varicocele cause infertility?

It varies on a case to case basis. If your varicocele is causing your testicle to atrophy (shrink due to decreased blood flow) and you notice elevated temperatures in your scrotum, it is likely that your sperm are unhealthy, immotile, dead, etc. It is best to get the area examined by a physician.

If it is discovered that your varicocele is in fact causing infertility, there are a number of simple procedures (surgical and non-surgical) that could restore your fertility. Don't wait too long though, the longer it is left untreated the more permanent the infertility becomes.
