It is good that you reacted in time and went to your doctor because most of us ignore some things concerning our health. I am sure that you are ok, that it is not a testicular cancer in your case because you have been examined by a trained professional. I don’t see why you should be worried that this lump will affect your future babies. Regarding to this, you have nothing to be worried about. Testicular cancer is not a common type of cancer and most lumps in the scrotum are not testicular cancer. The most common types of testicular cancer are seminoma and teratoma. Pulling sensation or feeling of unusual heaviness in the scrotum, a dull ache in the groin, pain or discomfort in the testicle or scrotum are some signs of the cancer. Surgical removal of the affected testis is the treatment for testicular cancer. I am sure that you will be ok.
