Patient's question:
How much does surgery for varicocele cost? I have varicocele, on the left side, which I consider moderate, and it often hurts. I'm 24 years old, and I haven't had a thorough check-up at the hospital yet. I'm wondering, can it be surgically treated? How long do I need to rest after the surgery?Doctor's answer:
The condition is suspected to be varicocele, where the pampiniform plexus of veins in the spermatic cord becomes dilated and forms a cluster. It can cause a feeling of heaviness, fullness, discomfort, or pain. Mild cases can be treated conservatively. Severe varicocele may lead to infertility and requires surgical treatment. Rest, wear supportive briefs to hold the scrotum, and take (Mai Zhiling) for treatment. If necessary, seek follow-up care at the urology department of the hospital. Wishing you a speedy recovery.Doctor's inquiry: Do you have any clumps of varicose veins in your scrotum?
In addition, during the treatment of male reproductive health conditions, besides timely medical treatment, the patient's dietary status and psychological condition are also particularly important. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of the condition.
