A member asked:
He has a less than a bb size very hard pebble like thing located in his testicle area. what is it? what could it be from? should we be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No concern: Most small lumps in the testicle area are small epididymal cysts which are quite common and insignificant. Another less common cause is a scrotolith/scrotal pearl which is a mobile calcification within the inner scrotal sac. Any lump in the scrotal area that is not arising from the testicle itself is invariably benign and just warrants observation for any change in size or associated pain.
