A member asked:
Can epdidymitis be mistaken for varicocele?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Less likely, because symptoms of epididymitis are often more acute and pronounced and those 2 conditions are easily differentiated with a proper scrotal examination. Good luck.

No- not by a Urologist. They are two seprate anatomical entities easily distinguished by a clinically competent Urologist
