What should an international patient prepare before traveling?

Patients should obtain a valid passport and medical visa (S or L visa) for China, and arrange travel insurance that covers elective surgery. It is advisable to bring a certified medical interpreter or use hospital-provided translation services, as English may not be widely spoken. Pre-travel, complete a semen analysis and any required blood tests, and coordinate with the hospital for a follow-up plan, including remote consultation options for post-operative care.
