Enlarged veins on both sides of scrotum, right side larger, new pain
Hi, I’m 19 and I’ve had enlarged veins in my scrotum for a long time. Both sides have enlarged veins, but the right side is noticeably larger than the left.
Recently, I’ve started experiencing some pain/discomfort, mainly late at night when I’m lying down and about to sleep. I’m not sure if it has anything to do with ejaculation/masturbation, so I don’t want to assume that’s the cause.
The enlarged veins themselves have been there for a long time, but the pain is a recent development.
Could this be a bilateral varicocele? Is it unusual for the right side to be larger than the left, and should that be investigated further?
Would a scrotal ultrasound with Doppler be appropriate?
I’m planning to see a doctor, but I’d appreciate any input, especially from doctors/urologists or people who have dealt with varicoceles.
