Abstract
Background: Varicocelectomy is a type of surgery for varicocele treatment. This may recover fertility properties in males through improvement in semen parameters as well as sexual hormones. In this study, the role of varicocelectomy with focus on semen properties and sexual hormones have been assessed. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, before- after data from fifteen patients with different varicocele grade, regarding to varicocelectomy have been compared. Result: After varicocelectomy, a significant improvement in some semen parameters such as motility and concentration has been showed. However, among sexual hormones, only testosterone has been increased after surgical intervention (p=0.007). Conclusion: Based on our knowledge, varicocele treatment may almost improve fertility potential in males significantly. Accordingly, it seems that varicocelectomy has positive effect on parameters such as testosterone and serum FSH levels as well as sperm count and motility. Therefore, it could be concluded that varicocelectomy is an effective approach to improve male fertility and sexual disorders.

Based on our knowledge, varicocele treatment may almost improve fertility potential in males significantly. It seems that varicocelectomy has positive effect on parameters such as testosterone and serum FSH levels as well as sperm count and motility
The data obtained from the semen analysis and the evaluation of pre-operative sexual hormones were compared with these parameters four months after the operation of varicocelectomy
Summary
Male infertility is a widespread problem in men. Several factors have been identified for male infertility in which the most important is varicocele. Some of its prominent features such as reduced sperm count, as well as decreased testosterone levels, along with diminished size in the same area can be observed[6]. It can be associated with a distinct or obscure pain in the testicles or groin area[7].
