Patient's question:
My left testicle is larger than the right, and it feels like there's something like intestines when I touch it. Sometimes it gives a slightly sore sensation (I don't know what that feels like). It feels like it's near the inner side of the thigh next to the testicle, or like it's the testicle itself. However, my sexual function is normal. Because I need to prepare for my final exams, I haven't had time to get a thorough check-up. Just now I asked online, and people said it might be varicocele. It's said to interfere with fertility... I'm so upset. Is it really serious? Besides the surgery cost, how much will it probably cost? Is the success rate high? Will there be any aftereffects? I'm really sorry, I'm so scared, so I asked a lot of questions.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it's like this. If you are only eighteen years old now, then your varicocele definitely needs surgical treatment. Because you are so young, if it is not treated for a long time, your testicles will become engorged with blood. This will then interfere with your sperm production function. Therefore, it is recommended that married men with varicocele pay attention to their health checks. Otherwise, it will affect future fertility. The cost is about six or seven thousand. This kind of urological disease is not easy to heal completely.
