Common symptoms: Many men have no discomfort. When there is some, you may notice a sensation of heaviness or a lump in the scrotum that becomes more evident when standing or after physical exertion.

Why it's worth checking? In some cases it's associated with changes in fertility, so evaluating it helps to understand the overall picture for each person.
