Do I need to get checked or not?
I am 14 and I have Grade 4 varicocele. I don't feel pain or discomfort at all but the varicocele can be felt and highly visible. I don't see any signs like antrophy but I have heard it has very high chances of infertility, antrophy etc so I am just scared if I could get these problems too.
My grade 4 varicocele is on the left. When I touch my sack around the balls, my left side still feels cold but less cold compared to the right side. Basically the left side with the varicocele is cold compared to my body, but not as cold as the right side of the testicle without varicocele. The varicocele disappears when I lay down and both sides become equally cold. My left side starts sweating a lot when I lay down. These symptoms were when my balls were loose. When they are pulled close to the body, the varicocele become invisible but can be felt when I press. When I sit the varicocele is still felt but not as large as when standing. When sleeping it's basically non existent.
