I have a varicocele in both sides (the right is very small), so I did a fertility test and it came back healthy. My question is that I've always been a person who exercises a lot and I sometimes as usual lift heavy weight (not the maximum but heavy enough to challenge me). I wear support (tight shorts), during but I was afraid that the weight training would make it worse and cause me to no longer be fertile so I stopped. Problem is now I feel very weak because I haven't lifted a thing (huge decrease in sex drive too) for almost a year and recently tried to help someone move and felt like I was straining to help move a washer (which used to be easy). I want to start exercising again with occasional weight training, but I don't want it to ruin my chance of having a child. My doctor doesn't seem to concerned about it, but I just wanted some extra feedback, thanks.View Thread
