I have a fairly hard lump above my right
testicle. It's not directly part of the
testicle, but it may be attached to it.
There is no pain in my scrotum, but there
is a bit of pain in my inner thigh across
from my scrotum which could be due to the
fact that I ran about 3 miles a few days
ago. I haven't checked myself out in some
time, so I don't know if this is new or
has been growing. Does anyone have any
clue as to what this could be?
Thanks everyone,
Andrew

Do you find the lump located on the top of
the testicle?
Can you check it and compare it with the
other testicle?
Have you noticed redness, warmth and
swelling of the scrotum?
The inner thigh pain that you feel is due
to over running and inadequate pre and
post running stretching. This pain arises
from the inner thigh muscle, that allows
your toes to turn thereby producing a
balanced running.
Stop running for at least one week and
after that do some mild stretching
exercises for one week more, before
starting to run again.
Waiting for your post!

I'm beginning to think there is a good
chance this may just be a cyst due to the
fact that I have had those in the past and
this lump does not seem to be a part of
the the testicle. It seems to be more
free-floating than anything. The other
testicle has nothing however, but I have
yet to notice any redness, warmth, or
swelling.
Thank you so much for the help,
Andrew

You are welcome!
Have you experienced some trauma or
infection in that region recently?
What kind of cysts you were having
previously?
I guess you have developed spermatic cyst
(spermatocele, epididymal cysts).
This is a common type of painless, benign
cyst raising adjacent to the epididymis
(part where sperm is collected) near the
top of the testicle.
This cyst usually don't need to be treated
unless the person has symptoms (increasing
in size and becoming painful).
Anyway, it will be nice to visit a doctor
and get this checked with an ultrasound.

I haven't experienced any trauma or
infection in the region, but I don't know
what kind of cyst it was that I had last
time. Either way, I already have an
appointment for a doctor visit scheduled
and will be looking into getting an
ultrasound.
Thanks again,
Andrew
