"MALE FACTOR INFERTILITY"


I just met Mr O. again. He had a nice smile on his face.
"Doc do you remember me?" he asked.
"Hmmm not exactly... you are..." I stammered.

The first time I met Mr O. was in March last year. He had been married for 7 years without a child. He had been all over the place; men of God, hospitals, and laboratories. He had been diagnosed of male factor infertility (low sperm count) and had been referred by a doctor to consult a Urologist. He didn't take it too seriously at first but later decided to give it a try. That was when I met him, in clinic, during my Urology posting.

He was examined and discovered that he had a condition known as varicocele. Its a surgically amenable condition that predisposes men to low sperm count. He had surgery in a few weeks.

Fast forward to today afternoon.
"I am Mr O. don't you remember me?" "I had surgery in March last year for varicocele and I am now the proud father of a baby boy".
I was delighted!

Male factor infertility is the cause of in fertility in about 30% of cases. Although not all causes of male factor infertility are easily treatable, cure can be obtained for a percentage of cases.
Its possible that you or someone you know might be childless for an easily recognizable and treatable condition. Wives should not be left alone to seek for a cure. The husband should also visit a Urologist for proper evaluation.

Thanks for this post...I know it's been long since you posted this but I think I have varicocele and I need to know where "Mr n" had his varicocele surgery and if possible the cost thanks
