 Posted: 02/14/07 - 16:23 Post subject: Tumor/Cyst growth on left tesiticle-looking for an opinion |
  |

Hello,
I've been putting off getting myself checked out for a long time regarding a tumor type growth on my left testicle. I believe I first found this when I was 16 or 17, and I'm now 22. The growth has the texture of a mini brain, with lumps and bumps, almost like veins. It is not often visible or easy to feel, but it shows up most after a shower/bath, when you can clearly see that the growth is almost the same size as the testicle itself. 3 years ago I went to a doctor and asked him to check while I was getting a checkup for something else. He felt and said that he could find nothing; at the time the growth was not visible, and couldn't be felt by touch. I explained that it appeared most after a warm shower and he said it may be a vein clump, and did not seem concerned. I'm now getting concerned, after searching about testicular tumors and seeing the word 'cancer' so often. I plan on visiting the doctor within the next week or two, now that I've accepted the possible seriousness of the problem, and was looking for an opinion about what I should expect. Does this sound like it may be a cancerous tumor, or simply a vein cluster as my doctor had said?
I would really appreciate any input.
Thank you,
Adam |
