It is the size of another testes. soft. unattached. am 61yo. had this for 5 years. have inguinal hernia got worse after 3 week cough from cold?

Ask Magilla Gorilla: I saw something like that today, only in a gorilla. No, just kidding. Ultrasound showed it to be what's called a "spermatocele,"a benign sack of fluid and sperm (think of it as a reserve tank...). Of course that hernia could be lurking in there too, or some other cause for that lump. Get them checked out. And when you cough, press on the hernia so it won't pop out. Don't hold your breath to strain
