4. Varicose vein
A varicocele is one Expansion of the veins in the scrotum, which can be felt as a sac-like swelling or lump on the testicle. The varicose vein often occurs on the left side of the scrotum, but can occur on either side and is similar to varicose veins that can occur elsewhere on the body. In many cases, varicocele occurs due to weakness or malfunction of the venous valves that regulate blood flow. This causes blood to pool in the veins of the scrotum, causing the veins to dilate.
Varicoceles are usually benign and cause no symptoms. Rarely, they can cause symptoms such as pain or heaviness, tenderness or a visible swelling in the scrotum.
