A member asked:
Is it normal for tail of epididymis to swell at times when standing and reducing when resting or sitting, worse when active or straining?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varicocele: It could be swollen veins. When severe, we call it varicocele. If not getting bigger probably nothing to worry about but if getting bigger seek medical help
