Question 1

firm bump found to the right of the tail of epididymis. right tesitcle.
can vary in size (2mm-5mm). sometimes can't find it (disappears).
can be shifted around from side of the tail to the tip if testicle is massaged firmly.
no other symtoms?

Accepted Answer

Epididymal cyst: Your epididymal cyst is quite benign. Do not worry about it. Scrotal/testicular self examination should be performed by every adult male, keep it up. Epididymal cysts only require surgery if they cause significant discomfort.

Question 2

a firm bump at the very bottom peak of my right testicle, slightly smaller than a pea, close to what feels like a fleshy tube.

if i massage it, it goes away. 
it only appeared after long abstinence.

i have no other symptoms to report?

Accepted Answer

Safe, not malignant: Likely a minor tubular abnormality of tail of epididymis. Similar to an epididymal cyst only it empties when "massaged". Tumors of the testis and/or scrotal contents are hard and do not go away when massaged.

Question 3

hi doctor, 
i've been having a massag the girl touching my penis and testicles with her hand. i'm worried this kind of touching can cause std or hiv.

Accepted Answer

Rub and tug dangers: Unlikely  -  In theory she should be washing her hands between clients (at the very least).  Unless she had any types of sores  on her hands  - you probably are safe.    next time - insist that she wash her hands or use some sort of alcohol based hand sanitizer -    Good luck

Question 4

i had varicoecele e mobilization done in june and i still get discomfort and occasional pain still in my  left testicle, is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Not uncommon: Assuming your post-op exam by your surgeon is otherwise unremarkable, it is not uncommon to have a variable and often intermittent discomfort in the same side testicular region for at least several months and on occasion longer for a number of reasons.

Question 5

ive had a pain in my right testicle for 3 days now. it never goes away but sometimes its worse and sometimes its not as bad. also my testicle is a little higher than the other. can it be torsion or no ? should i go to the e. r. ?

Accepted Answer

: It does not sound like a torsion. You need to see a Urologist for proper assessment ASAP. In the meantime wear a good scrotal  support. In many people the left testicle is lower normally . To the ER  if the pain is bad. Hope you feel better

Question 6

pain in left testicle?

Accepted Answer

Testis pain = see Dr: Testicle pain means a trip to the doctor right away because a testicle's blood supply can be twisted off (called torsion). When that happens, the testicle can die. Other causes of testicle pain include trauma, infection, twisting of an appendix of a testicle (a small lump next to a testicle), etc. Since one usually cannot tell if his testicle is twisted, an exam by a clinic or ER doctor is needed.

Question 7

pain in testicle recently?

Accepted Answer

Doctor to evaluate: Pain, tenderness, or soreness in a testicle should always be examined by a doctor. The reason is that a guy's testicle can die if the testicle twists, thus twisting off the blood supply (called torsion). Other causes of testicle pain include doing sports without a jock strap, getting kicked in the groin, having a testicular cancer or infection, etc... Sometimes, an ultrasound scan is needed.

Question 8

is testicle are same in size?

Accepted Answer

yes: A small difference in testicle size is normal. A varicocele or prior trauma may result in a larger difference in testicular size.  A mass in a testicle may also make one testicle larger than the other.  If this last scenario is the case, you should visit with your doctor.

Question 9

can you grow a third testicle?

Accepted Answer

No: No, you cannot grow a third testicle.  However, you can develop a benign cyst or a tumor that may mimic a third testicle.  If a "third" testicle is identified, this should be evaluated by your doctor to do appropriate testing to determine if this is a benign condition or possible malignancy.

Question 10

how to make my testicle longer?

Accepted Answer

Cosmetic surgery?: Could have an implant.  I would never suggest this to anyone.
