The purpose of this study is to determine if the pre-operative levels of sex-hormones can be used to identify the varicocele patients who can expect improvements in their semen parameters following varicocelectomy.
53 studies on the registry are indexed under Varicocele; 15 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 3 is below the median of 72 across 36 interventional studies indexed under Varicocele.

Exclusion Criteria:
We will measure sex-hormone and semen quality in patients both before and after varicocelectomy. The purpose is to asses if preoperative hormone levels are predictive for who will have improved semen quality after surgery.
Procedure: Hormone and semen measurements before varicocelectomy
Before surgery we will measure sex-hormone levels and semen parameters. This will be repeated after the varicocelectomy to record any changes.
Change in semen parameters
Time frame: February 2017 (anticipated duration of the study)
Change in hormone levels
