Varicocele Surgery
Hi everyone! I posted here a few times back in January when I was going through my varicocele surgery. I promised I would write back with my results and how the surgery went, so here goes.
Pre-Surgery Results:
Total Count - 5 Million
Progressive Motility - 8%
Morphology - 0%
Post-Surgery Results:
Total Count - 44 Million
Progessive Motility - 18%
Morphology - 40%
Now, I understand that my current numbers are still below the average, but there was a significant improvement! Not only did I choose to have the surgery, but I chose some lifestyle changes that I believe helped. I exercise 4 times per week (and lost 10 lbs), eat much more healthy, no soda, and I took Fertilaid Vitamins. A lot of us guys want to become a dad so much, that these changes are easy. The surgery was not bad either...a little pain for about a week, but honestly, the thought of it is much worse than the actual procedure.
I hope this can offer a little hope to someone who had or will have the surgery!
The only problem now is...what form of treatment should we do if any???.....:-)
