A member asked:
Tail of epididymis swelling only when standing and active and shrinking when resting? is this a serious problem ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Need scrotal ultrasound for confirmation. Morelikely a varicocele (if left side) or somewhat unusual hydrocele. Unlikely to be serious. Worth consulting with urologist if it bothers sufficiently that you would like it fixed.
