    Firstly, 35 million sperm is fine... 15 mil or above is normal. Im not sure about motility. You can treat the varicocele, there are a few options but an embolisation is the easiest way and is effective. The correlation between varicocele and fertility is a matter of some debate but more and more urologists are coming round to the theory that it does... But your doctor's advice is a little strange and I would seek a second opinion from a urologist and perhaps consider treating the issue before you turn your life upside down.

    That count seems fine but if it’s causing you stress and worry just get it embolized.
