Q: Both of Us May Be Infertile:(

I am on the list for a lap due to suspected endo as my partner and I have been trying to conceive for 19 months my partner went to the doctors today for an enlarged testical and the doctor explained to him that his veins are pretty much crushing his balls and obviously the blood isn't getting in enough to release much sperm and it shouldn't be a problem unless he cant conceive my partner being embaressed didnt mention that we have been with no luck he can have surgery to free the little guys up but the percentage is low of helping it. My question is has anyone heard of anything like this all? I cant find any info on it and would like to know heaps as now it seems both of us are to blame for not conceiving.

I've heard of that being refered to as variocele. I would ask your dr what the name is for sure though. It is a treatable condition...So don't get too down on the situation yet!!!!
