A

Usually presents with nodularity on the lateral side of the scrotum
Some cause a dull ache, especially after prolonged standing or towards the end of the day
May contribute to male subfertility, as the increased flow raises the scrotal temperature and impairs spermatogenesis
Often visible as distended scrotal blood vessels.
