about 6 or 7 years ago i discovered that i have a lump on my left testicle. sometimes i feel shooting pain coming from there, its not very painfull and most of the time i dont feel it. i also notices that my left tisticle hangs lower then my right one. also, this lump seems to disappear and appear from time to time. somedays it gets big, but some days i cant even feel it, like its not there. i just want ot find out what this might be. thank you.

A lump in a testicle is an early warning sign of testicular cancer, just like a lump in a breast. You need to see a doctor.

This doesn't mean you have cancer, it just means you should get checked out to make sure you don't.

It's natural to have one testicle larger than the other.

HOWEVER, when you have a lump on one that does a disappearing act, coupled with shooting pains, you MUST see a doctor. The longer you leave it, the higher the possiblity for the necessity to remove the testicle ... or worse... It could spread into other areas of your body.

marvel is right, it is natural to have one testicle hang lower then the other. Also if you watch, your penis will tend to lean to the lower testicle.
