Question 1

lump next to the epididymis the appendix of testis? i had us done 4 months ago & everything was normal. sometimes i feel like it's the epididymis?

Accepted Answer

Probably so!: Yes, if you had a normal ultrasound, then you do have an epididymis.  Since it's coiled and loopy, it can feel lumpy.  If you go to Wikipedia and search "epididyus"  (yes, you did spell that correctly), you can view a cross section of the testicle and its adjacent structures.  Then, you'll be able to "see" what you "feel."  Unless you notice pain, swelling or discoloration, no worries!

Question 2

how can i tell if i'm feeling the appendix of the testis or a testicular tumor?

Accepted Answer

See doctor: See a doctor to get her/him to check what you are feeling.Best wishes.

Question 3

2 months ago i felt a small bump on my testicle and was told it could be the appendix of the testis. it hasn't grown since. does that rule out cancer?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: You should have a direct exam with a doctor to assess the bump.

Question 4

where is the appendix testis located
is it a normal finding?

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: It is an embryological remnant attached on the surface of testis usually next o the globus majora(head) of epididymis, appearing like a skin tag with its size about 1-3 mm, which gives no harm but may occasionally twist by itself to cause pain with peak age around 7-10. More? Ask Doc preferably a urologist.

Question 5

how do you describe an appendix testis? is it a normal finding?

Accepted Answer

It is normal to have: appendix testis is an appendage of normal tissue located on top of testicle. It is usually asymptomatic unless it twists and may cause pain but otherwise does not pose any threat to one's health.

Question 6

scrotal & abdo aching pain both sides. swollen testis
veins. uvsound shows no varicocele, torsion, epididymis, uti or kidney/appendix infection. what?

Accepted Answer

Testicular pain: You have ruled out the big ticket items so that is good!
For pain and swelling, just take Advil 400 mg po q 6 hrs for pain and could also take Benadryl at night 25-50 mg /night for the swelling. If it persists, see Urology MD.

Question 7

i need help my left testicles is painful i did a appendix remove few years back?

Accepted Answer

Take A Look: Testicle pain should be taken seriously. The age of the patient has an impact on the possible causes. The most serious would be an infection or a torsion (twisting) of the testicle. Torsion can kill a testicle and is a true emergency. Viral infections, sexually transmitted infections, varicose veins (varicocele), and others are possible. Seeing a doctor promptly is needed due to testicle pain.

Question 8

i feel various discomfort in lower right pelvis, flank and lower back for two months. sometimes very, very slight pain, other times a tickle-like sensation around appendix, no other symptoms. what can this be?

Accepted Answer

: There are many possibilities here, since so many organs are present in the pelvis in a young woman, particularly the urologic, gynecologic, and digestive organs, in addition to the low back. I would start with a good exam by your primary doctor or your gynecologist, including lab testing and a urine sample analysis. Good luck.

Question 9

have intermittent stabbing pain on front lower right side near where leg meets pelvis. would suspect appendicitis but don't have appendix. do have iud?

Accepted Answer

Femoral hernia??: See your doc, tell him your history and get a physical exam to find out what is going on in you.

Question 10

had a ct scan of abdomen, pelvis all was fine even appendix, but mine was removed 30 years ago.

Accepted Answer

Consider...: I have seen inadvertent reporting of the appendix before. One of the more common ways this happens is when the radiologist reads a normal study and says "dictate normal" but forgets to remove the part in the template about the appendix. Incidentally, I have also seen a very rare case in which the patient reported prior surgery for an appendectomy but the appendix was still there.
