40yr old. Had a fertility test 2.5 years ago (results normal) but have had significant psychological trauma since then and continues now. I gave a sample again this week (extreme stress during abstinence also) and the comparison is as follows: Then: volume 5.0, concentration 31, normal 18%, motility (40% rapid, 20%, 20%, 20% imotile). Now: volume 4.5, concentration 14, normal 19%, motility (5% rapid, 5%, 40%, 50% imotile). I discovered last year that I have varicocele but otherwise had no other known physical obstacles or injuries. Is this massive loss normal in such a short period? Should I repeat the test? Can it be the stress? Is it temporary or permanent? Thank you, Tom J
Hi, varicocele treated surgically because it can lead to infertility. Here massive change in second result, so I will advise repeat test for making sure of second result. Thanks
