A member asked:

When checking for testicular cancer, is it still a concern when there are lumps on the "tubes" leading from testicle to the body?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: It's hard to say without doing an exam. You may be just noticing normal structures, but varicose veins can frequently occur in this region (varicocoeles). This may also need an ultrasound if your doctor thinks it's needed. Btw, kudos on doing self exams!
