<s>[INST] Hi, I have been experiencing testicular pain for a while now (about 2 years). My urologist says it might be varicolese and that it is difficult to diagnose so I had a varicocelectomy which did relieve some of the pain however there is still some pain remaining. It is especially noticeable when blowing my nose, the left testicle experiences more pain the harder I blow my nose. I planned to see my urologist again in 2 weeks (4 weeks after my varicocelectomy) and mention this but what do you think the problem could be and what should I look out for and ask my urologist? [/INST] Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum In short: Varicocele is difficult to treat & it recurrsExplanation: There are many reasons for acute(sudden) and chronic(long duration) testicular pain. As you have seen urologist he would have investigated you thoroughly for these things. Usually Chat Doctor.  If the pressure in vascular system(laciniform plexus) increases pain may aggravate. So only you are having more pain during blowing nose. As you have been operated blowing nose can cause pain after surgery due to the same reason. SO, visit your urologist when due for visit and take rest till then.  Good luck </s>
