I've noticed that the veins below my testicles seem more pronounced recently, but there's no pain, and the size of my testicles seems normal. When I touch them, they feel a bit like rubber. I'm kind of worried about what's going on. Can you help me figure out what might be the issue?

The symptoms you're describing, such as increased visibility of veins on the testicles, a rubbery texture, and no pain, can be caused by several factors.

Possible Causes

1. Varicocele: A condition where the veins within the scrotum become enlarged, which can cause a rubbery texture.
2. Hydrocele: A fluid-filled sac that can cause the testicle to feel swollen or rubbery.
3. Spermatocele: A benign cyst that can cause a rubbery texture on the testicle.
4. Epididymal cysts: Benign growths that can cause a rubbery texture on the testicle.

Recommended Course of Action

1. Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with a urologist or a primary care physician to discuss your symptoms.
2. Physical examination: A doctor will perform a physical examination to assess the texture and size of your testicles.
