View allI'm experiencing this dragging sensation on the left side of my testicle and the color Doppler test showed I have a grade IV extra testicular varicocele on that side.

I've been having this on-and-off pain in the lower right side of my abdomen, kind of just above the penis area, and it seems like it's coming from the right testicle area. It's been really worrying me. What could this be? Should I be concerned about something serious?
usually thats normal cramp. no need to worry, practice kaegel exercises and maintain healthy life style. if it becoming worse visit urologist for appropriate management.
