Varicocele: You could be feeling a varicocele, which is an enlarged vein in the testicle.  These are harmless, but can sometimes be uncomfortable.  However, with any new testicular finding, i encourage all of my patients to get a proper exam to make sure it is nothing more serious.  Best of luck!

Yes: sounds like a varicocele which is a varicose vein of the scrotum.  They can be normal but if continue to enlarge or cause pain I would see someone.  If you are older and it is new, it may be a sign of something compressing the outflow of blood, which should be looked into.
