Can a man with varicocele get a woman pregnant naturally?

By Andrea Rodrigo B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).

This will depend on the degree of varicocele he has and the characteristics of each male. In principle, if the varicocele is not severe and does not affect sperm production, he should not have any problems getting his partner pregnant. However, if the varicocele is grade two or three and has caused damage to the testicle, male fertility problems may arise.
