Patient's question:
I am a taxi driver and have been sitting in a small space for a long time, lacking in physical activity. Recently, I noticed some pain in my testicles, and they seem to be of uneven height. Looking at the symptoms, I did some research and suspect it might be varicocele. I would like to ask: How much does it cost to treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to the recurrence of dilated and tortuous veins in the spermatic cord due to impaired venous. It is a common disease among young and middle-aged adults, characterized by the expansion, tortuosity, and elongation of the pampiniform plexus (vein vascular) caused by venous blood stasis in the spermatic cord. The incidence rate is 10-15% in the male population and accounts for 15-20% of male infertility cases. This condition is more commonly recurrent on the left side, and surgery is the primary treatment method. Varicocele can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and recurrence is prone to occur after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, appropriate medication, and maintaining good lifestyle habits and dietary practices are essential during treatment. It is hoped that male patients can recover quickly.
