varicocele embolisation abroad

Hi,

Has anyone had Varicocele embolisation abroad to save costs? How do I go about searching for clinics abroad? Can anyone recommend any clinics abroad? I don’t mind where it is as long as the cost savings makes it worth it. It costs £6-7k in the UK. We can get it on the NHS but so far it has been a faff just to get a referral and time is not on our side!

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I would have thought the cost of the flight to Bangkok will offset any savings? Unless we decide to go on holiday there? Please PM me will look into it.

If you go as part of a holiday the whole experience is far more relaxing. Ok, it might be a bit far for UK - but Greece and Turkey are also great and flights are much cheaper!
