Can a man with varicocele get a woman pregnant?

Yes, it is absolutely possible for a man with a varicocele to get a woman pregnant. Many men with this condition have no fertility problems at all and conceive naturally without any issues. However, a varicocele can sometimes make conception more difficult. It can negatively impact sperm production by raising the temperature in the scrotum, which may lead to a lower sperm count or poorer sperm quality.

So, while it doesn't make pregnancy impossible, it can reduce the chances for some couples. If you have a varicocele and have been trying to conceive without success, it is a good idea to get your semen quality checked. The great news is that this is often a reversible cause of infertility.
