A member asked:

I have a hard testicle , however afp levels are normal as well as blood work , the doctor suspected hernia , what should i do ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What's on imaging?: I'll bet you infarcted it from a hernia or old torsion and didn't realize it. An imaging study is worth doing to be sure it's not tumor -- but testicular CA is almost never "hard". You're free to request a sperm check to see if you can be a dad. Best wishes.
