Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, let me assure you that, the scan finding is called Varicocele.
A varicocele can contribute to lowering of sperm motility(movement of live sperms). Hence, a surgical correction of the varicocele, may restore normal motility, and greater chance for pregnancy is there.
The surgery is usually done by laposcopic technique in all Urology centres.
If you send me the semen analysis reports, with a copy of male hormones test, i can give you an expert opinion, regarding chances of success of this surgery.
Wish you well.
