Hmm I have the same problem, I have read that it is called varicocele because my symptoms match completely.

Basically, a varicocele is a faulty vein in the spermatic cord (blood vessles that supply blood to the testicles). There's valves in each blood vessle that regulate where blood goes. When these valves are faulty, they cause blood to pool inside them and then cause the vein to stretch out.

The reason you can feel these in the shower (if this is what you have) is most likely because your balls sag more when they're in warm places, like in a shower or between closed legs, and you can feel more of what's in there when they're sagging.

If this is what you have, it's nothing to worry about! It's not uncommon at all, affecting approx. 15% of all guys 15-25 (although it can happen earlier). I just suggest getting a physical and seeing what your doc says about it. Most of the time the doctor won't recommend anything. Other times they recommend a minor surgery to remove that tube.

But remember that this may not be what you have. Just get it checked out by your doc, and he can tell you for sure what it is, because we can't diagnose you. I haven't gone to my doc yet because apparently it costs too much...

I completely agree with Movealong..I also think so that it is called varicocele.a varicocele is a faulty vein in the spermatic cord (blood vessles that supply blood to the testicles). There's valves in each blood vessle that regulate where blood goes. When these valves are faulty, they cause blood to pool inside them and then cause the vein to stretch out.
