Varicocele might be noticed as soft lumps, usually above the testicle and mostly on the left side of the scrotum. [5] Right-sided and bilateral varicocele does also occur. Men with varicocele can feel symptoms of pain or heaviness in their scrotum. [5] Large varicoceles present as plexus of veins and may be described as a "bag of worms".
Other than the legs, in men it can also occur in the scrotum (usually on the left side) where it is called a varicocele. This develops because the left testicular vein brings blood back to the left renal vein at about a 90-degree angle, while the right testicular vein drains directly into the inferior vena cava.
Varicose veins, also known as varicoses, are a medical condition in which superficial veins become enlarged and twisted. Although usually just a cosmetic ailment, in some cases they cause fatigue, pain, itching, and nighttime leg cramps.
Varicoceles are the swelling of the veins inside the scrotum [12] typically on the left side. [14] These masses may appear or feel similar to a "bag of worms". [15] Usually varicoceles do not cause harm or pain, however, they can sometimes result in pain, infertility, or issues related to testicular growth. [14]

While one may expect the female to have an equal prevalence of pelvic compression syndrome due to the identical embryological origin of the valveless pampiniform plexus, this condition is thought to be underdiagnosed due to the broad differential of the pain pattern: unilateral or bilateral pain, dull to sharp, constant to intermittent pain worsening with any increase in abdominal pressure.
Valveless testicular veins are a major contributing factor to varicocele. [1] Since the left testicular vein goes all the way up to the left renal vein before it empties, this results in a higher tendency for the left testicle to develop varicocele because of the gravity working on the column of blood in this vein, compared to the right internal spermatic vein.
While varicocele is the diagnostic term for swelling in the valveless venous distribution of the male pampiniform plexus, this embryological structure, common to males and females, is often incidentally noted to be swollen during laproscopic examinations in both symptomatic and asymptomatic females.
