I talked with a mother of a teenager about varicocele. It turns out that many teenagers are diagnosed with this condition around age 14 during routine exams. For some boys, it goes away on its own, but for others, signs of infertility can appear at that age. I didn’t know about this—the friend who told me on Monday cried all day, rushed from doctor to doctor, and browsed the Internet. The doctor said that within three working hours he had referred three boys to the hospital because their testicle sizes had already changed and there were signs that their fertility could be at risk. Do you take your boys to the doctor? We didn’t even know this was necessary or that they need to be monitored at such a young age. Do you know anything else about this topic?

My husband had surgery during his teenage years, and I think it may have been twice. Could you please confirm?

I'm a mother of girls, but I knew a lot about boys. Visits to a surgeon are mandatory.

A common problem.
By the way, it can happen to women as well.

My partner has a varicocele; we were warned about infertility; we have two children conceived naturally.

My husband has had a varicocele since he was 16. It doesn't bother him, though 🤣. He wanted to have it removed, but he didn't dare.

Of course we bring him. After all, the surgeon should begin examining the boy from an early age.

My husband has never really caused us any concern before. We started trying to conceive for a year without success. He had a semen analysis at age 30, and the results were frankly discouraging. Of course there’s always a chance, but you understand… Time and age aren’t on our side. The urologist recommended surgery for a varicocele, so we went ahead with it. After three months we repeated the semen analysis; it was a little better, but there weren’t many changes. They gave us six months to try to conceive because things might worsen… We decided to pursue IVF with ICSI. Then we went to another urologist, who said the surgery should never have been done—the first semen analysis was the best. In short, there are as many opinions as doctors.

We visited a urologist at ages 6 and 12.
He said everything was normal.
My husband doesn't have it.

Iglova Viktoriya During the check-up, the doctor found something and told us what to do. We completed one test, and he walked around for a while. Later they said another test would be needed (he doesn’t remember the details anymore). Nothing worried him. Everything seems normal so far; the baby is ours to raise together.
