It sounds like a very strange way of describing a varicoclele, dilated and tortuous veins. 10% of men have them. more common in taller and thinner men. There is a small chance that they can harm sperm production, and occasionally can be painful. Follow up with the doctor who ordered the test and she should be able to help you better with them. At least that is my read, though its an unclear report.

In a 25 year old, the most common reason to have left sided severe pain, feeling ill (nausea) and having blood in your urine is a kidney stone. If its down close to your bladder, it can also make you go frequently.

Discuss with your doctor, but after a turp, you should be able to stop both your flomax and proscar. As for post-void residual, unless yours was very high before the surgery, and you were in near retention, there is not much to be concerned about. Regardless, there is nothing to prepare for it. Drink a normal amount of water. When you arrive at your doctor's office, he will ask you to do your best to empty your bladder and will check your residual.
