Question 1

squishy lump on bottom of testicle.  it feels like it's full of veins, and i never notice it there before.  is this a testicular lump?

Accepted Answer

It is best to see MD: There are several things that can be there and one is called varicocele, another is spermatocele. Have it examined by the doctor, i can assure it will give better peace of mind.

Question 2

can a gp by palpation only tell if a testicular lump is located on the testicle itself or on the epididymis?

Accepted Answer

Yes : A doctor can palpate the difference between a testicle and epididymis.

Question 3

if i touched a little lump inside my ball bag near my one of the testicle what could that be?      thanks

Accepted Answer

Exam needed: A doctor needs to examine you. A common cause for what you describe is a fludi filled sac called a spermatocele, although that is rarely seen at your age. You are 18 so you may be feeling normal anatomy too such as the head of the epididymis.

Question 4

so i have a lump slightly over my left testicle. i isn't that big, and is most noticable when i'm standing up. i doesn't hurt anything. and when i touch it, it feels like a bag of strings, is it dangerous?

Accepted Answer

The "bag of strings": comment suggests what you are feeling, I believe.  The epididymis is a coiled tube at the back of the testicle that stores and carries sperm. Depending on location and position, it can be felt. It can become infected, including by sexually transmitted infections, when it is then swollen and tender.  From your description, I believe you are feeling a normal structure. Stay well:)

Question 5

i had surgery when i was younger on testicles area. i feel a bony lump where the scar is on my ball bag. i believe it has been there since surgery but i only just really noticed?

Accepted Answer

Scrotal lump: Make sure lump is actually in scrotal sac &amp; not attached to testicle itself. Lump in scrotal scar most likely benign post-operative sebaceous cyst. Needs to be checked out ASAP lump is attached to testicle in case it is malignant (cancer), which fortunately, by your description, is highly unlikely.

Question 6

i have a lump on my testicle and i have some questions?

Accepted Answer

Get examined: Most of the time new lumps are benign things, but you need to rule out the possibility of testicular cancer. A doctor can many times by just physical exam make a diagnosis. For those times when things are unclear, simple imaging tests like ultrasound can help make a diagnosis. The first step, though, it for you to go see your doctor. Do not wait. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Question 7

i noticed a hard lump on my testicle. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Get checked: Especially if this is a new lump, someone should examine you. Lumps in the testicle can be cancer, and the earlier it is found the better. Other less serious things can cause lumps, such as infections, changes in blood vessels or other "plumbing" there, but you need to discuss this problem with your physician.

Question 8

what could this lump on my testicle be? should i be concerned?

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 9

i have a small lump on my testicle on the outer layers. i read on the nhs website that if a testicle has a lump inside of it it's bad but if the lump is outside the testicle it's good? how can i tell if my lump is in or out of my testicle?

Accepted Answer

: Follow the contour of your testicle if the lump is above that it is outside. If the bulge is part of the contour it is inside. Please see a Urologist to make sure and ask him/her tom teach you how to examine the testicle and then do it periodically. It is easy.

Question 10

could you tell me if the small lump on my testicle is cancerous, can it be easily removed?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If cancerous can easily be removed. Entire testicle may well need to be removed if it is cancer. You could always have a testicular prosthesis to replace a removed testis if cosmetic appearance of 2 testes is important.
