 Posted: 04/19/05 - 02:00 Post subject: Tiny lump on testicle |
  |
|
I am 42 and recently I have noticed a tiny lump on my right testicle while I was in the shower. I know that lumps are usual in scrotal area but I am bit worried because I am not that young. It only hurts me when I am pushing on it, and I am doing that a lot since it really bothers me. Is it possible that this is a cancer? There is no history of testicular cancer in my family.

The testicles are glands that produce hormone testosterone and sperm. Lumps on testicles are very common and they can develop for number of reasons. To minimize the risk of cancer, men should ask their doctors to show them how to examine their testicles like women examine their breasts to reduce the risk of cancer. Although testicular cancer is rare some experts think that testicle lump that doesn’t hurt has a great possibility do evolve into cancer. The risk is bigger in men between the ages of 25-35. Some of most common causes of testicular lumps are epididymitis, varicocele, hydrocele, spermatocele (epididymal cyst), infection of a scrotal sac, mumps, orchitis, testicular cancer etc. A varicocele causes swelling of a scrotum, due to a swollen vein and it usually occurs in teenagers or young adults. A hydrocele is a swelling of the scrotum caused by excessive accumulation of fluid. Remember, the best thing for you to do is to get that lump examined. Only then you will be certain what is your condition and what to do next.

| I have the exact same problem, I'm 17. But I've found out I have chlamydia so that isprobably what caused it. I advise all of you havn't been tested for chlamydia or ghonnoreah to do so because that could be the cause of it. |
