Hello,
You need to meet a surgeon. You may be having epididymitis or varicocele. Epididymitis is an inflammation of the coiled tube (epididymis) at the back of the testicle that stores and carries sperm. Males of any age can get epididymitis.
A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the loose bag of skin that holds your testicles (scrotum). A varicocele is similar to a varicose vein you might see in your leg.
The doctor may advise you to get an ultrasound scan of the scrotum.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sanjay Kini
