Question 1

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 2

How can i tell if a lump on my teaticle is inside/within my testicle. or on the outside/outer layers of it?

Accepted Answer

Inside the testicle growth causes enlargement in the size of the testicle and out it will be one that sits on the out side but connected to it. Please get it checked by a Urologist if you have one and the same time have him/her teach you testicular self-exam.

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

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

I have a pinhead lump on the side of my testicle. how can i tell if the lump is on the inside of my testicle or on the outside of it? i suspect it's tunica since i can feel it on the outer surface. but if its on the surface does that mean its outside?

Accepted Answer

testis has a tunica albuginea  and over that it is surrounded by tunica vaginalis, The tiny lump you feel is probably on the outside part of albuginea. Most of these are benign. To clear any further doubts you will have to see a Urologist

Question 6

What could a lump on the right testicle mean?

Accepted Answer

Hi

this common finding would be evaluated based upon other symptoms. Given your age, the lump is very unlikely to represent cancer.
The most common issue is a scarring of the tubing in the scrotum often called a hydrocele or varicocele. 

Do you have pain? Swelling? Is the scrotum hot to touch?  Do you feel feverish? Do you have any urinary symptoms. 
If yes to these questions you should be seen.

Question 7

I've got a lump on my right testicle i am so scared?

Accepted Answer

Testicular cancer is the most common malignancy for 15 to 35yo males.  It might turn out to be nothing, but you must get examined and have a scrotal ultrasound to be sure.  Some of the possible benign things are epididymal cyst (spermatocele) or even just the normal epididymis that you came across for the first time.  Best news is  if it is testis cancer, it's one of the most treatable cancers.

Question 8

Hi i have a lump on  my left testicle what should i do?

Accepted Answer

You should see your family doctor for an examination to determine the cause of this lump and help you with treatment if you need it.

Question 9

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

Accepted Answer

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 10

What can it mean if i suspect a lump on each testicle ?

Accepted Answer

There are a few things that can cause this so getting checked is paramount.  Usually these are easily resolved but you need to make sure to rule out a cancer.  Generally though testicular cancers don't not appear on both side at the same time.  Please get checked ASAP.  An ultrasound can give a lot of information.
