A lump on the testicle could be many
things and definitely should be examined
by a doctor. If you're uncomfortable with
a female doctor, get a male doctor. Either
way, doctors are professional, have seen
it all, and will not judge you, but you do
what makes you most comfortable. If you're
young, then talk to your parents and tell
them you want a male doctor.
As for it being a varicocele, you
shouldn't try to diagnose yourself as it
could be many different things. Some
serious that should be taken care of right
away. I have a varicocele and it wasn't
noticed until I had an ultrasound, because
of pain. It doesn't exactly provide a
lump, but it may be evident by feeling
larger veins. An actual lump on the
testicle that does not move, is most
likely not a varicocele.
Go to a doctor and get it checked out.
It's not something to self-diagnose or
leave alone.
