its for a health project… ok so by feel….. my research saids varicocele feels like worms? o_0 but i never found out how you yourself would tell the difference between testicular cancer and varicocele

Only an ultrasound or biopsy can differentiate a variocele from cancer. But it’s true that cancer tumours tend to feel less mobile and firmer than the engorged veins of a variocele. IN a nutshell, a variocele is basically a spermatic vein varicosity (like a hemorrhoid is a varicose rectal vein). Veins tend to feel ‘squiggly’ and are compressable (they squish down to a degree). Tumours tends to feel more firm, nodular, and are more fixed in the testicle, and they are usually painless, unlike the variocele, but this is not always the case.
