Varicocele: It means you have a fluid filled scar from a previous injury in the tubing between the testicle and prostate gland. This is very common.

My right testicle seems to have less feeling than the left and it feels sort of itchy? I've gotten an ultrasound and they found nothing but a varicocele in the left one and a cyst in the right. Is this something I should worry about or go to the ER?
