hello
Thanks for query .
Your semen analysis has revealed your sperm count to be less tan normal(Oligospermia)
It is likely that your Urologist on your clinical examination might have detected you to have Varicocele .
Since Varicocele is one of the causes for Oligospermia he has rightly advised you to get color Doppler study of the Scrotum to confirm or rule out the same .
Please go ahead and get it done It will help him to plan the further treatment
