Patient's question:
I had a varicocele surgery at Beijing Hospital. Before the doctor started the operation, he told me it would be under general anesthesia. Is general anesthesia necessary for a small surgery? It's not supposed to be mentioned in advance, but my family members didn't go. Is this illegal? He also mentioned there are public expense projects.Doctor's answer:
General anesthesia for surgery will definitely be much more expensive, so this can also be done with partial anesthesia, such as spinal anesthesia... Many drugs are indeed covered by public funds. Before the surgery, the anesthesiologist should communicate with you, including pain pumps. Therefore, you should have the right to be informed. In fact, suffering from a urological disease is not terrible at all. The patient should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as the symptoms are detected in time and treated accordingly, the chances of suppressing the condition and recovering are very high.
