Talk to Urologist on Could This Be Varicocele Or Something Else?

Asking for Self, Male, 21 years old, Karachi

I’m looking for some advice because I’m not sure if I’m overthinking this or if there could be a physical issue.

I sometimes feel a bag/cluster or cord-like structure directly above my testicle. This made me think it could be a varicocele. I already went to a doctor and had it checked, but he examined me and said that I don’t have a varicocele.

I’ve also noticed that when my penis is soft/flaccid or slightly stretched, it sometimes has an hourglass-like shape, with a slight indentation around the middle. However, when I’m semi-erect or fully erect, the indentation completely disappears and my penis looks normal.

I sometimes also feel a heaviness or pressure in my penis and testicle, particularly when doing housework, walking, or doing physical activity.

Could the bag/cord-like feeling above the testicle be related to the hourglass-like appearance of the penis, or could these be completely unrelated? Could this be normal anatomy or possibly related to muscle tension?

Has anyone experienced something similar, especially the cord/bag-like feeling above the testicle together with an hourglass appearance when flaccid?

I’d appreciate any experiences or advice.
