Varicocele generally doesn't cause pain.  
See your primary care provider if you answer yes to questions described above.

Question 7

i can feel a small straw size vein on right side of testicle and tender to touch. no bag of warms only one vein swells& tender to touch. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Epididymitis: Sounds like possibly epididymitis - infection of the epididymis.  You need antibiotics to treat this.  Testicular infections that are untreated can potentially lead to sterility.

Question 8

right testicle has a vein-like structure. the urologist said it was fine; said it is more than likely an enlarged palpable vein. my question is can a single vein be literally on the testicle itself? is this ok?

Accepted Answer

: Photos of lesions etc are not examined on this forum. But if a urologist says this is fine, surely it is:  no HealthTap doctor can do better than in-person evaluation. but if you want a second opinion from HealthTap, look into our concierge service.

Question 9

i feel pain sometimes in right testicle cord. i can feel there is a vein which swells like a size of small straw. what is it?

Accepted Answer

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!

Question 10

what is this bag of veins behind my left testicle and is it abnormal?

Accepted Answer

Near the testicle...: Is the epididymis, which is composed of numerous tubes, and is palpable in the scrotum. The epididymis may harbor cysts, making it more prominent. A large one is called a spermatocele. A varicocele is a collection of dilated veins that can be felt near the spermatic cord. Usually these entities are left alone unless large or painful. See your urologist for evaluation.
