Patient's question:
Which hospital treats varicocele? It has been more than a week since I have been suffering from severe testicular swelling and pain, and also lower abdominal pain. On Sunday, a detailed examination and diagnosis confirmed bilateral varicocele. How should bilateral varicocele be treated? Is varicocele easy to treat for men?Doctor's answer:
1. Moderate varicocele requires surgical treatment. Delaying surgery without excision can affect fertility and may lead to testicular swelling in severe cases. The cost for a unilateral varicocele surgery is 1800. It is recommended to seek follow-up treatment promptly to avoid missing the opportunity for timely intervention.2. Varicocele is the abnormal dilatation, extension, and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus in the spermatic cord. The incidence of this condition in the general male population is approximately 20%, while in infertile males, it is around 40%. This condition is more common in young and middle-aged men, with relatively fewer cases in adolescents. The overall incidence rate of varicocele among adolescents aged 6-19 is 10.76%, but the severity is often higher, mostly classified as degree III. It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination and treatment at a formal hospital.
