Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi,

I visited a urology doctor for an annual check up (I had a kidney stone last year) and he diagnosed me having left varicocele after physical examination. I'm 31 years old.
Consequently he sent me for a semen analysis.

The results of my semen analysis were:

Count: 17 Million/ml
Volume: 3ml
Morphology normal: 80%
Progressive 30:
Non progressive 20%
Non motile 50%
T.M.F.S. 20

My doctor is suggesting that I should definitely go for a surgical repair if I plan to be father ( and I do really )

Is surgery necessary in my case or could I conceive normally without any aid?

anu replied. Hi uxmal

please dont get worried about this surgery, its very minor surgerry, you have to be in hospital for one or two days.
My husband had this same problem. We tried for our second child for 2 yrs without no result, finally our doc found out that my hubby had varicocle in his left, and told him to undergo one surgery, which he did this august 2004,he had very low sperm count 26 million and 10% motility.go this this website for detials

if u r in usa then try to take these vitamins:

itamin C: 1,000 mg 3 times a day.
Vitamin E :400 IU twice a day.
Zinc / Copper:30 mg zinc and 2 mg copper a day.
arginine:
1,000 mg L-arginine 3 times a day,improves motility
carnitine:
2,000 mg L-carnitine 3 times a day,improves motility.
vitamin B12:
1,000 mcg a day
vitamin E:
400 IU a day in addition to the amount in your daily vitamin program
Coenzyme Q10:—Take 10 mg daily. Increases sperm count and motility
Selenium—Take 200 mcg daily. Improves sperm motility.
also you can take vitamin A.
U can get all these in any vitamins shops, like GNC, even wal-mart for better prices.
