Varicocele of testicles?

A while ago, I felt goosebumps and a strange movement in my testicles. I felt that the temperature of my testicles was high. I went to the doctor and he said that I have a simple varicocele in the testicle on the right testicle, and one or two veins can be seen on the scrotum. Then the doctor advised me to do a Doppler x-ray, and after I did a Doppler scan of the testicle, it turned out that there was no evidence of varicose veins, and everything is normal. Though I still can see a few thin veins on the scrotum.

The finding you describe is normal finding for your age especially after the scrotal US finding.
I wouldn't worry too much unless you are having persistent testicular pain.
If your doppler was ok then no issue
Veins on the scrotum are very common and very different from a varicocele which are dilated veins that drain the testicle. Right sided varicocele without a left can be significant however you do not have this so it is not an issue. Scrotal veins are usually cosmetic and not to be worried about.
I can’t explain why you felt what you felt - but the ultrasound/Doppler exam has ruled out any serious issue. In the future, if you have issues please see a urologist
