Multiple small hypoechoic right testicular lesions and bilateral testicular microlithiasis and small left varicoceles on ultrasound. meaning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varicocele: There is a bunch of veins encasing the testis like a basket called pamphiniform plexus. This is how the temperature of the testis is maintained at optimal levels for the best sperm production. Sometimes these veins can become engorged more and become like a bag of worms like varicose veins of the legs. This is called Varicocele . It may need some attention if having problems with fertility

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?
