Hey all,
About 3 weeks ago I went to my doctor to get this small bump/lump checked that appeared at the back of my right testicle. After consulting the Doctor and after he checked, he said that the bump was actually on the tube connecting to the right testicle, and that it is probably a spermatocele or "cyst". And he said by 1st January there is a chance it would go down, but said to re-arrange another appointment with him if it becomes inflamed or changed in anyway.
Now I check every couple of days, and it doesn't seemed to have changed much, in fact I would say it has got a bit smaller, but it can be felt if I try to find it. Does anyone have any advice here? If it gets bigger or causes pain I will obviously make an appointment, but I don't really like going to the Doctor's. So do you think I should just leave it unless anything changes? I read that spermatocele/cysts of the tube can actually stay there forever, and many people live with them.
