Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a varicocele.
A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins in the scrotum.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three tablets a day.
I also suggest wearing an athletic supporter to relieve pressure.
If the pain continues I suggest to treat varicocele properly with surgery.
The surgery consists in repairing the affected vein to redirect the blood flow into normal veins.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
