The “ball” just above the testicle most likely represents either an epididymal cyst that is not on the testicle but on the cord that brings blood to the testicle, The second possibility is a hydroceal that is a benign cyst next to the testicle. The best way to evaluate this lump would be to have a testicular ultrasound and an evaluation by a urologist.

I have had a small lump on the end of my right testicle for about half a year, didnt really worry and I did it today, it is about the size of a Newtons cradle ball, no pain anywhere. I masturbate frequently, so I thought cyst maybe?

Likely benign but you should see a doctor, ultrasound of the testicle should be done.

Little lump on the end of my right testicle, both of them fell firm and I think thats normal, no pain anywhere, about the size of a Newtons cradle ball. I masturbate a lot, and I mean a lot. So could be a cyst? Or should I be worried about cancer?
