General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi, it could most likely be Varicocele which is a swelling of the veins above the testicles. They dont usually cause any problems. But, they can in some cases lead to pain, dragging or low sperm count. If you or he are worried about it then you can see a Surgeon or a Urologist and get an Ultrasound done and that will tell what it is and whether it requires treatment.
Take care and all the best.
Do let me know if you have any other queries on this issue.
