do health consequences result from having a cyst on a testicle, besides cancer? if so, what are they?

Most likely benign..: Despite medical advance, most of medical care is still based on indirect evidence resulting from continual collection &amp; analysis of available experience.

Accepted Answer

Right Side OK?: Did he say much about the right side? That is going to be important.  I am sorry to hear this, but if the right testicle is normal, then I don't think there is anything to be concerned with.  Followup with a call or visit to your pediatrician to clarify the ramifications of this!

Question 9

testical going up inside?

Accepted Answer

Happens.: A thin muscular layer surrounding the testicle called the cremaster muscle can cause the testicle to retract upward toward the body. This is part of the temperature regulation of the testis. If the entire testicle cannot be felt, this could be an undescended testicle, usually diagnosed in childhood. This condition should be evaluated by a physician.

Question 10

what causes testical pain?

Accepted Answer

So many things: There are entire books about this subject.  Torsion, infections, trauma, and tumors are just the tip of the iceberg.  Maybe it's best i answer your general question with a general answer and stop here.
