Hi, It is extremely unlikely that a varicocoele causes such a severe anguishing pain and therefore i suggest you make sure your friend does not have anything like a recurrent torsion of testis which might end up in a disaster or a condition called epididymo-orchitis which is an inflammation of genitals, and both of which can cause excruciating pain. varicoceles cause a mild ache usually, and we operate on them very rarely for pain, and are more likely to operate on them if they cause sperm dysfunction.
