Hey guys,
about a month ago i noticed a small lump on my right testicle, i left it alone and didnt think anything of it. (Mind you ive never done a self check ever) I found it laying down and doing the whole guy hands in pants thing, its not obvious to find and you really have to look for it. Earlier this week i remembered that i had it, so i checked myself again, went online and found out how to do a proper check. After doing so, I found it no problem and it had'nt grown in size, nor was it ever painful. But for some reason i started to be overly concerned about it and i pretty much felt for the lump everynight before i slept and even at work. I dont fell ANY pain unless I really press it and its not even that bad, i feel discomfort if anything here or there. But nothing overly painful or excruciating . But i cant figure out if its because ive been touching my testicle/lump so much or its just in my head now.
Everything ive read asks if its the size of a pea or grain of rice, its neither, its def smaller than a pea. I feel like its almost like a pimple and if i had access to it i can scratch it off like one. I am concerned that it may be cancer, but im really hoping its not. Im really hoping for it to be a cyst or something VERY minor. i did see the doctor today hoping to get some answers, but she couldnt give me any. She couldnt even find it, even after i located it for her. I do have a ultrasound scheduled for monday and im pretty nervous as to what it might be.
If anyone has any idea, please reply.
Again, its pretty small and im 100% sure its on my right testicle, i beleive its fairly soft, and its more toward the outside of the right testicle. No history of any cancer in the family and generally healthy and athletic.
Thanks again.

Hi:
You were very wise to seek out a medical opinion. I'm glad that the doctor is listening to you, even if she didn't feel anything. If you still feel the lump, but you don't get any answers, don't stop looking for answers. Keep knocking on doctor's doors until you get answers. Yes, it could be minor, and that would be great. However, you need to confirm it, especially since it is a cause for concern now and it's causing you some stress. Good luck with your tests. Let us know what you find out.

It's good that you're going in for an ultrasound because that is a pretty scary thing to find. It turns out that in the vast majority of cases that it turns out to be nothing but you should still be making sure to follow up with your doctor when you feel that sort of thing anyway. A lot of other guys would just pretend that they hadn't felt anything or would've said that it's nothing and just gone on with their lives, and that's the worst thing in the world you can do. Good on you for being responsible with your health!
