Varicocele and hydrocele are both conditions that affect the scrotum, but they are different. A varicocele is caused by enlarged veins around the testicle and may feel like a bag of worms. It can sometimes cause a dull ache, heaviness, or fertility related concerns. A hydrocele is a collection of fluid around the testicle that usually appears as a smooth, painless swelling.

Because both conditions can look similar, a physical examination and scrotal ultrasound are often needed for an accurate diagnosis. Consulting a urologist is the best way to determine the exact cause of the swelling and discuss the most appropriate treatment options.
