View allI have a Grade 1 left varicocele measuring 3.1 mm and my sperm count is okay but motility and morphology are low. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other treatments I can try?
While surgery (varicocelectomy) is a common treatment for varicoceles, especially when they cause infertility or significant pain, it's not always the only option, particularly for a Grade 1 varicocele measuring 3.1 mm. Lifestyle modifications and monitoring can be effective for mild cases.
