Question 1

what could a lump on the right testicle mean?

Accepted Answer

Lump in the Scrotum: 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 2

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

Accepted Answer

See a doctor now: 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 3

i have a hard lump under my testicle on my right side?

Accepted Answer

See below: There are a number of causes of “lumps” in the scrotum and all scrotal masses need to be examined by a doctor, even if not associated with pain or other symptoms. If the “lump” is arising from testicle, the most important cause to rule out is Testicular Cancer. If separate from the testicle, an epididymal cyst or spermatocele is the most common. Other common causes: epididymitis and varicocele.

Question 4

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 5

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

Accepted Answer

Lump in testicle: 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 6

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 7

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

Accepted Answer

Get Checked: 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.

Question 8

i found a mass on my right testicle. what could it mean?

Accepted Answer

Concern?: How long has it been there? Trauma? Infection? Cyst? Fluid? The biggest concern would be cancer but you are a bit old for that but you should get it checked out.

Question 9

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!
