Since at least the age of 12 I have had a smooth mass above my left testicle. It is about the size of a small marble and the same consistency as my testicle. It is not attached and can be moved around. When I was youger I thought it was a deformity, possibly a third testicle. I am now 47 and a month or so ago it started hurting and when I examined it it felt harder and painful to the touch. The soreness went away after a few weeks. Should I be worried? Does anyone know what this could be? It doesn't seem to fit the descriptions for epididymal cysts or hydrocles. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi:
It sounds like this was an insignificant cyst that is now changing in form. That is a reason for medical attention. This can happen with cysts. They have the potential of becoming a problem. It's great that you are so in touch with your body. Do the smart thing. Don't wait, see a doctor now. I know that you will catch any potential problems early if you go now. I wish you the best. Please let us know what you find out and how you are doing.

Well if it was something that was malignant then it would have hurt you long ago. But if you do have a change in it, it is possible that something could be going wrong with it now. Especially because it's associated with pain and it's gotten harder, that concerns me greatly. I don't think it's possible to tell what it is at this point but you should definitely go see a doctor so that he can help you out. Keep us posted!
