Patient's question:
When I was taking a shower, I noticed that one of my testicles is much larger than the other, and it seems to be lower on one side. When I touched it, I felt that the veins were very prominent, almost like earthworms coiled inside the testicle. Please ask: What is the general cost of treating varicocele?Doctor's answer:
It may vary from several thousand yuan. Varicocele is the abnormal extension, expansion, and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus of veins within the spermatic cord. It is more common on the left side. Symptoms include: scrotal heaviness and fullness, dull pain while standing, relief during walking, relief while lying down, and disappearance. Mild cases can be supported with a triangular bandage. Cold compress and local massage are commonly used. Oral medications such as (Mazilin), (Mao Dong Qing Pian), (Ou Kai), and (Fu Rui) are prescribed for treatment. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication intake.
