Hi i have a very hard painfull lump on won of my testicals the pain is there all the time and when it is toched it is very painfull. I have been to see two doctors one at the gp clinic at my hospital and one at my doctors practis and the one at the hospital could not find it and said i had a water infection and my own doctor said my testical was normal and might be infection. There is nothing showing up in my urine. The problem is you can only feel it when i am in bed and my scrotum is worm and loose. I have had a little lump there for years that a doctor could not find when my scrotum was hard and it is now about three times the size and i am in agony enough to make a large male cry to the doctors receptionist lol. Please help i know there is a change in this lump but no one can feel it but me. What do i do
i found this info on another site it helped me a lot
do your self a favor and shine a light through it and see if it lights up i tried it and now i relieved i saw the light which is a good thing it means its water no cause for concern but you can have it taken care of if its causing pain i have loads of pain but only when it is touched, rubbed, or if i sit wrong. Hope it isn't nothing to bad take care
teste cancers are inside the testicle, not attached to it. Those at increased risk include patients with testicular cancer in the past, history of undescended testicle, and age 20-40 years. Whites are 10 X as likely to have testicular cancer than Blacks. Testicular cancer is more common on the right.
What you describe is possibly a hydrocele (fluid around the testicle). It can be acquired or congenital. It is not cancer. Because it is fluid, it readily transluminates with light. It is benign and need only be surgically corrected if it bothers you, i.e. increasing size causing pain. Another possibility is a spermatocele ( a fluid and sperm filled cyst) that is also a benign (non cancerous) entity. As with all masses in the scrotum have your physician examine the abnormality to see if further evaluation is needed. If it were testicular cancer, you would have typically presented with more symptoms by now.
