Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your age of 5 and having report of left varicocele, right testis problem with hetrogenous parenchyma and reduced blood flow to the testis.
This is suspicious of the cancer although there is a reduced blood flow, which does not go by the cancer.
Yet it needs further investigations and if suspected, orchidectomy meaning removal of the affected testis and sending for the histopathology reports if your Urologist feels so.
At the same time you need to undergo the CT scan of the abdomen and the chest to find out the lymph nodes.
