 Posted: 03/07/08 - 13:37 Post subject: Lump attached to testicle near epidermis |
  |
|
Hi,
Basically i found a lump in my scrotum a few days ago and have been kinda worrying. Websites about Testicular Cancer have not been very helpful to my apparent situation, they do not state whether a cancerous lump is attached to or apart of the testicle. My lump appears to be attached amongst the epidermis tubing kinda. It is less than pea sized and you cannot feel in between the lump and the testicle as they seem to be too close etc however not apart of the testicle itself as it can be moved abit, however is clearly joined as movement is not completely free. It is not painful unless you squeeze it, and then it aches for a few minutes afterwards. .
I have not found any other posts with the exact same thing, i have read many forums of people saying they've had things for years and sites aren't very helpful etc.
I get the idea that generally if it is cancerous it is a lump ON the testicle itself, not attached to it, and there is also swelling and things, however i understand there are so many different situations i don't really know what to think. I am not worried enough and not confidant enough to go to the doctors as of yet as its only been a few days but just wondering if anyone has any ideas for me?
Thanks for your time. |

I think this Guest is on the right track, except you can't be diagnoised over the internet. You'll have to see a doctor, probably a urologist, to get the ultrasound done. A physical exam, including palpation, touching, probing, feeling, is going to be required first.
I disagree with the last statement. "Guest" can only say that HIS situtation became more painful over time. Your condition may or may not do the same.
But I would get checked out by a doctor. |

| Just got back from the doctors, I had the same thing as you. It's perfectly normal is the head of the epidermis. |
