Brief Answer:
Please read detail answer below .

Detailed Answer:
Hello , Welcome to HCM.

Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have undergone surgery for Varicocele in Nov 2015 and have some doubts and queries about the results of surgery .I would like to clarify these queries point to point as detailed below .

1) There is possibility of recurrence of Varicocele in remaining tributaries of veins in few cases can not be ruled out .The discomfort that you have in scrotum takes few months (2-3) to get resolved .

2) The discomfort in body and headache that you get while having intimacy with your wife ia not due to any organic cause but is due to anxiety .

3) It is not documented or proved by any scientific data or research that Varicocele surgery increases sperm count in every individual after surgery .There is documentary evidence to suggest the sperm count in 30 % of patients after undergoing surgery .

4) After having look at photographs of your penis I would state that it is normal in length and girth .As such the length and girth of penis in flaccid state has no significance at all .It is the hardness of penis on erection that is important for sexual enjoyment and satisfaction of both the partners .

5) With sperm count of 17 million there is possibility of you to impregnate your wife with the help of newly assisted reproductive techniques .You need to consult qualified Infertility specialist for guidance and help.

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you

Thanks and Regards.
Dr.Patil

Brief Answer:
You have to give nature it's own time .

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up .

The discomfort that you feel will gradually go away you can see your Urologist after 3 months and there is no need to do any more tests except semen analysis .
to check out sperm count .

The newly assisted techniques are like IVF and ICSI that are being practiced in a person who has low sperm count to fertilize female egg using his own sperms to effect in to pregnancy .


Thanks and Regards.
Dr.Patil.
