How much does it cost to check for testicular cancer? The cost is high nowadays. Many men suffer from diseases due to excessive stress. Among them, many people suffer from testicular cancer. They feel panic when they hear about this disease and they have to get checked and treated as soon as possible. So, how much does the check cost? Let's find out together.

Let us understand what inspections are needed and how much they cost.

1. Ultrasonic:

B-ultrasound examination can accurately distinguish the size, shape, and presence of lumps of the testicles. It can also distinguish whether the swollen testicles are caused by inflammation, tissue edema, or tumors. It can also detect whether there are metastatic tumors behind the peritoneum. The cost of this is about 150 yuan.

2. Auxiliary examination:

Such as chest and bone X-rays, CT scans, radionuclide scanning, pyelography, experimental biochemical immunoassays, and even lymph node angiography to observe or speculate the scope and extent of metastasis. These tests cost only two hundred and twenty yuan in total.

3. Biopsy:

A biopsy is the only test that can confirm the presence of cancer. Most of the time, when doing a biopsy, your doctor makes an incision in the groin and removes the entire affected testicle. This procedure is called a radical inguinal orchiectomy, and it costs about $100.

The dangers of testicular cancer:

Testicular cancer occurs in young and middle-aged people. Although the cure rate is high, it has a great impact on society and family. The treatment process of testicular tumors requires the removal of the affected testicle. The subsequent retroperitoneal lymph node dissection surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy will bring corresponding adverse reactions and may affect the patient's reproductive function.

Testicular cancer is not only harmful, but also extremely difficult to treat. With the current medical level, it is very difficult to cure this disease. Therefore, for the sake of their own reproductive health, male friends must pay attention to local cleanliness and hygiene to avoid testicular lesions and testicular cancer. I also wish everyone can have a healthy body and stay away from diseases.
