Answers:
Yeah, it's called a varicocele!. They are quite common and can occur on one or both testicles!. I have them on both!. They swell up sometimes and almost disappear others!. Sometimes they ache!. They can affect fertility but are not always a problem!. You can get them surgically reduced but that's only necessary if they are causing problems!. You need to get a doctor to confirm this diagnosis though and to tell you if they think surgery is necessary!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are tubes connected to your testicles for blood flow and for the flow of semen maybe it's that you are feelingWww@Answer-Health@Com
