Q: i have a varicocele on my left testicle but it only aches sometimes on a semi rare occasion when im laying down. i forget about it a lot. do i have to worry about it?

: No. Occasional dull ache is not to be concerned. You should rather be concerned if left testicle is significantly smaller than the right one measured by orchiometer by scrotal sonography.
