Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing some premature ejaculation, and every time I have sex, it's very uncomfortable. Several small veins have reappeared on my scrotum, all swollen, accompanied by symptoms of frequent urination and urgency. My lower abdomen feels very heavy and distended. I've tried various methods to alleviate the symptoms, but none have worked. A thorough examination revealed that it's varicocele. What kind of help I need: How much does varicocele surgery cost?Doctor's answer:
Varicocele refers to the obstruction of venous return in the spermatic cord, failure of valves, and blood reflux leading to blood stasis, causing the pampiniform plexus to expand, elongate, and tortuous. Most believe that varicocele can affect sperm production and semen quality, resulting in infertility. Mild varicocele without symptoms does not require treatment, such as reporting the scrotum and applying cold compresses. Severe varicocele with testicular atrophy can be treated with high ligation of the internal spermatic vein. The cost should vary depending on the hospital's level and the city it is located in. It is advisable to consult a hospital with the necessary qualifications first. Generally, it may cost around 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.
