He needs to go to a doctor! I don't think
they are harmful at all but they are
obviously bothering him, so he needs a
doctor to sit him down and explain what
they are to him. The sound like
varioceles, which are harmless.

It does indeed sound like varicoceles, but
he should still see a doctor. A single
doctor visit does not cost that much.
There's also many cheap insurance programs
offered, especially for the young, so he
could get onto one of those. Not so much
for this visit, as insurance generally
doesn't take affect for certain things
right away.
Varicoceles are for the most part
harmless. Nearly 15% of men have them, but
have no symptoms. Others have symptoms of
pain on occasion. It can also cause
infertility, but can usually be easily
reversed by surgical procedures.
