What Could Cause Scrotal Lump?
I'm 17yrs old and I've been having a lump in my scrotum (which I think is a varicocele) since more than a year now. It's just above my left testicle and feels like a network of worms, thick ones. It causes discomfort and I feel it has also shrunk my scrotum. My scrotum hangs loose all the time. And now, I feel my right testicle is also getting the same thing. It hurts me in the pubic region, on the right (it used to hurt on the left side when this lump was starting to occur above my left testicle). I couldn't share this with anyone as I couldn't gather enough courage....

Hello
Thanks for query .
A lump with boggy feeling just above the left testis is mostly due to Varicocele and needs to be confirmed by clinical examination .
Consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical assessment and get following basic test done to confirm the diagnosis
1) Ultrasound Scanning of Scrotum
2) Color Doppler study of Scrotum .
Further treatment (Need for surgery )will be decided by him depending upon the grade of Varicocele .
Using a scrotal support will help to get relief from pain and discomfort .
