Are there serious consequences for a baby born from a natural pregnancy if its father has a varicocele?

No. In principle, children born to fathers with varicocele are healthy babies and do not necessarily have to present anomalies or certain alterations. In any case, this will depend on the severity of the varicocele and its detrimental effect on sperm production.
