A varicocele is an abnormal degree of venous
dilation of the pampiniform plexus in the spermatic
cord above the testes, which results in pain and
swelling. A patient often describes the sensation as
feeling like a “bag of worms.”
Question 2 pts
Regular testicular self-exams have not been studied enough
to show if they lower the risk of dying from testicular
cancer. This is why the American Cancer Society and other
agencies do not have a recommendation about regular
testicular self-exams for all men. Still, some practitioners do
recommend that all men examine their testicles monthly
after reaching puberty. In teaching a patient how to do a
testicular self-examination, which of the following should
the clinician advise?
“If you feel firmness above and behind the
testicle, make an appointment.”
