What does treatment cost in China vs Western countries?

In China, the cost for urethral stricture treatment typically ranges from $5,000 to $12,000 USD, depending on the procedure (DVIU or urethroplasty) and hospital tier. In contrast, similar care in the United States can cost $30,000 to $60,000 USD, while in Western Europe prices often range from $15,000 to $40,000 USD. These figures generally include surgeon fees, hospital stay, anesthesia, and basic follow-up, but exclude travel and accommodation.
