Accepted Answer

: Always have new lumps in testicles checked out by Dr.  I cannot feel them from here.

Question 2

hey, i have a painless lump on my left testicle. but it is attached to the testicle beneath the skin but not inside the testicle so does this make it not cancerous as it is on the surface of the testicle beneath the scrotum?

Accepted Answer

: While spermatocele or epididymal cyst is the most likely cause of your lump, there are several other possibilities.  Please see your family doctor for exam and possibly referral for ultrasound.  Testicular cancer is in the differential, so please have this evaluated in person,  just in case.

Question 3

i have a hard lump close to or attached to my left testicle?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Testicular lumps can be cancer or benign. You don't want to take a chance of misdiagnosing yourself. Testicular cancer can be extremely aggressive so don't delay. Go see your doctor for a thorough exam. S/he may order an ultrasound to determine if you have a mass inside the testicle, but hopefully it is something benign such as a cyst or varicocele (dilated blood vessels). Good luck!

Question 4

have a small lump/ball on the top of my left testicle. it's attached to the outside of the testicle inside my sack. it is painful when touched.

Accepted Answer

Possible infection: This needs to be examined by a physician.  It may be an infection, such as epididymitis, or a varicocele (blood sac).  Less common would be a tumor.  You have provided only limited information; please see your primary care provider for an evaluation.  The best diagnostic test is an ultrasound.

Question 5

hey, i have a rice sized lump attached to the side of my left testicle. my left testicle is painful when touched and the lump is painful when pressed too. i've had this for 5 days and i'm only 16. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

: A small, painful lump as you describe may be related to the vas deferens or epididymis, but without knowing its location it is hard to make a determination.  The best option is to see your physician for diagnosis and treatment, or if need be, referal to a urology specialist,
