What Causes Varicocele?

I am a 44 year old male. 5'10". 225 lbs. I just had a semen analysis yesterday. During my physical with the doctor, he said I had varicocele. My semen analysis came back with the following abnormal observations: Semen motility 33.3%; total motile sperm in ejaculation 37.01%; Norma Sperm (Krugr Strict Morphology) 1%. abnormal sperm 99% (amorphous head 71, coiled tail 12 tapered/pyriform head: 10). I understand that the varicocele may be the cause of the defective sperm, but may be corrected by surgery. Can you please advise if this is correct.

Hello
Thanks for query .

Your physical examination has revealed Varicocele and semen analysis has revealed Terratozoospermia .
At the out set I would like to state that it has been in established by extensive research in the field of reproductive science that Varicocele does not cause Terratospermia (Abnormality in sperm morphology).

As regards possibility of improving Terratospermia and sperm count after surgery of Varicocelectomy it is established fact that it helps to improve these parameters only in 30 % of the patients.
