varicoclelectomy is done for subfertiltiy and varicocele induced orchialgia. The effect of varicocelectomy on semen analysis is controversial. Many articles report favorable outcomes and others do not.

Most study don't focus on varicocelectomy done for varicocele induced orchialgia,and those studies dont report on postoperative semen.
