Patient's question:
Married for many years, treated for infertility, recently learned it was varicocele. How much does varicocelectomy cost?Doctor's answer:
Hello: When varicocele occurs, due to blood stasis in the spermatic veins, it can lead to an increase in scrotal temperature, with the testicular temperature rising by 1℃ to 2℃. If the temperature remains elevated for a long period, it can affect sperm production in the testes, leading to azoospermia and oligozoospermia. For those with mild or no symptoms, wearing elastic pants or using a scrotal support band can be helpful. Men with more severe symptoms and varicocele accompanied by abnormal sperm should undergo surgical treatment. Varicocele does not necessarily require surgery, and the costs of different treatment methods also vary.
