I recently discovered a small hard ball inside my scrotum, not attached to the testicles, more to the back of the scrotum itself. A few weeks after discovering it it became enlarged and slightly uncomfortable so I went to the doctors who said it wasn't a concern as it wasn't attached to the testis and was probably a cyst. but referred me to have an ultrasound anyway. A day or two after it began to decrease in size so I thought it must be a cyst and didn't go to the ultrasound. 2 months or so later it has decreased in size more.. But still there, do I have any reason to be alarmed if it has decreased in size and not attached to the testicles? It's about half the size of a pea maybe even smaller.
Hello, Thomas123. I don't believe there should be any worry as well. If it is shrinking, that is a good sign. If it doesn't hurt you, that is also great. You don't need to have anything done with it unless it bothers you a lot, then the doctor can remove it for you. I know that men are skittish about a scalpel anywhere near there, so I am assuming you will much rather leave it alone.
Are there forum readers that have had a cyst like this present in their scrotum as well? Did it do anything and did you have it removed?
