Hey guys,
So about a month ago, i noticed a small bump on my right testicle. I found by accident just putting my hands down my pants before i slept. i didnt think anything of it and i left it alone.
Earlier this week, i remembered it and tried to find it again. (note: ive never done a self check on myself ever). i went online and found out how to do a self check, i did it and found it. It really wasnt that easy to find then, but now that i know where it is, its alot easier. anyhow, i started getting nervous about it so i booked an appointment to see my doctor to see her this past thursday. beforehand i went online to research a bit, because i didnt want it to be cancer:
- its not the size of a pea, its smaller than that...i feel like its almost the size of a pimple. And if i had access to it, i could pop it or scrape it off like one. (yah i know gross, but i wouldnt do it). id say maybe 2 - 3mm? thats a guess.
- id like to say its pretty soft, from what ive heard cancer lumps are pretty hard. i feel like its the same "material"?/consistency as my testicle.
but i dont know...its not as hard as bone or what not.
- i never felt any pain, even a month ago. just this week i was always checking it at home before i slept and at work. so maybe it just pains? or discomforts NOW, because ive been playing with it so much? if i press it with enough pressure, it does hurt like someone is squeezing my testical.
anyhow, i went to see my doctor and she couldnt find it even though i would find it for her. i am scheduled for a ultrasound on monday and im a bit nervous...but i would like to beleive im okay. any thoughts anybody?
also is HAS NOT grown in size since the FIRST time ive found it. i was really upset that my doc couldnt tell me anything yet. but i guess the ultrasound will say something.
any thoughts and opinions would be greatful.
thanks guys

it doesnt hurt or pains me ALOT.
its more discomfort now if anything...but i cant seem to figure out if thats in my head or its because ive been playing with/touching it.
