Hi, my husband just had the surgery a week ago. It was a really quick surgery and we have already seen benefits. The doctor thought that my husband only had a low grade vericosele but once he got in there it was significantly larger than he had thought. The recovery has been a bit worse than my husband had hoped, but he is doing well. His morphology was much lower than yours - 4% in March and 9% in July - on the scale that needs the percentage to be 14% to be normal. For us this was the first step because our insurance paid for the surgery because in was from a urologists office and they wont pay for anything that is for infertility. We want more than one child so we decided to do the surgery to hopefully fix the problem. From our experience my husbands vericosele did worsen as he got older, it got larger and more painful. I would talk to your partner and really decided what is best for you. For us this was our best first option. Hope that helps!
