Hello! Welcome to HCM.
Varicocele and kidney stones are two different things.
Discomfort in legs & heaviness in testis can be due to varicocele.
In my clinic, I advise operative treatment for symptomatic varicocele.
For kidney stones, I advise renal function tests, urine routine, X-ray KUB, ultrasound abdo-pelvis to know size & location of stones & hydroureter/hydronephrosis if any.. these are back pressure changes in ureters & kidney pelvis causing their dilatation due to distal obstruction to urine outflow by stone.
Treatment is done according to the diagnosis.
Hope this helps.
Wish you a good health.
Thanks.
Regards.
