Question: Hello. My name is XXXXXXX I have some pain in my left testicle. The testicle is somewhat extended. There is a lump-like substance that I feel, but I haven't seen it. I say lump, but it's more like a bulge. The lump isn't painful. Is it a varicocele? Thank you.

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get above mentioned tests under his guidance .

Hello
Thanks for follow up
Both the conditions are not harmful if left untreated
However if Varicocele is of high grade may cause infertility. Hence it is always safe to get the diagnosis confirmed
