Do I Have Testicular Cancer? | Forum profile

Hi Mate The Ultra sounds are fairly reliable, but keep an eye on it. What sort of size is it? Cheers Kiwi

I agree with the gentlemen above. This is definitely worth a prompt evaluation.

Sounds like it may be a varicocele, essentially a varisose vein in the testicle. It is described as feeling like a "bag of worms" if there are many. The ultrasound should have picked up any mass or cyst, so waiting a couple of months for a repeat and not poking at it sounds reasonable to me. If it is a varicocele it is generally left alone unless it causes discomfort.

Going by the description "small, hard lump," I recommend that you get it checked by a doctor.

One testicle being slightly larger than the other is perfectly normal... you probably have a foot a bit larger than the other too. I would stick with what Redlight wrote above and try to post the wording of the ultrasound report. TC has not been proven to be hereditary so your Grandfathers condition probably does not play a significant role.

hi ,i have a small hard lump on one of me testicles , occasionally i feel slight discomfort and need to re-adjust positioning , i am not registered with a gp and would like to know if it is something i should be concerned about

Hi Stephen. This sounds like something that needs to be checked. Testicular cancer is one of a number of things that could be causing this. The description of a hard lump is somewhat suspicious. I'd recommend you register with a GP and get it checked with all haste.

hey everyone, ok here's my story. I am 16 and 2 days ago my gf was messing around and kicked me in the nuts and they started to hurt. So last night before bed i decided to check out what was hurting so bad, when i felt around i felt a pea sized shape on my top right side of my right testical. could this be cancer? i should also note that i smoke and when my gf kicked me 2 days ago it was not all that hard. she just kind of grazed them....
