Brief Answer: Possibility of Varicocele Detailed Answer: Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day Feeling of pressure, discomfort and worm like feeling suggest the possibility of Varicocle, also possibility of Epidididymo-orichitis that is inflammation of testis is to be considered. Varicocele is the dilatation of Pampniform plexus(Bunch of veins draining the testis). It causes worm like feeling and discomfort. Diagnosis is based on good clinical examination and confirmed by scrotal Doppler examination. I would suggest you to consult your Surgeon for further assessment. In the meantime scrotal support by appropriate size underwear and analgesic like Ibuprofen will provide the much neede relief. Do write to me for any further query.
