Microsurgical varicocelectomy VS. Bilateral embolization
Afternoon all! I wanted to start by saying this Reddit group has really helped with perspective and knowing there are success stories!
My wife and I have been trying to conceive for the past year and half. I did my first sample analysis at the beginning of April, results were bad to say the least. Almost zero count and extremely low motility. Did blood work and a testosterone test, which all came back normal. This lead to a second sample delivery, with nearly identical results. Wound up getting a scrotal ultra sound, this showed I have varicocele in both testicles.
I had a follow up with a urologist/surgeon about possible options moving forward. The Dr. gave me two options. 1. Microsurgical varicocelectomy 2. Bilateral embolization (she recommended this). I wanted to ask this community, if they had any first hand experience with either of these two surgical option? Thank you all for reading and the support you all show one another.
