Varicocele: The varicocele can cause pain in the testis. Increased pressure in the renal vein can cause a varicocele,not the other way around.

Unlikely: Varicoceles are common in adolescents 7-15 %. 95% occur on the left side only. This condition is usually without symptoms of discomfort. A grade 3 varicocele may be considered for repair as they can lead to low sperm counts and infertility. If your symptoms are on the right side you should see a PCP or urologist to assess further
