Is It Safe To Have Permanent Shunt At The Age Of 38?
My husband is slated for testicular varicocele surgery. He has no pain, this is purely a sperm count thing. We have already gone through successful ICSI and have a daughter. We have more babies frozen for future implantation. Question: If he has no pain and I am the biggest part of the infertility equation (endometriosis), is it worth the risk of him having a permanent shunt put in at age 38? He has no symptoms other than low sperm count, at times.

Hello
Thanks for query.
There is no rationale behind going for Varicocele surgery when your husband has no symptoms related to Varicocele and your problem of infertility is dealt with ICSI.
