Ok, I just realized I posted this in the
womens health.. Oops. Ill post again
here and see if I get better response.
For a long time.. As long as I can
remember.. My left testicle hung a lil
lower. I can also feel other stuff if I
touch down there.. Like my ball is
hanging from the stuff. My right one
feels normal, but it feels like tons of
veins or somethin only on the left. It
also feels like a small ball the size of a
peanut attached to the veins too. Its
almost like my ball exploded and let all
this out.. But the ball feels normal
itself. What the crap is goin on? Its
nothing new.. Its been like this for a
long time. I know I got kicked hard there
once.. A long time ago.. Could that be
it? It doesnt hurt and I ejaculate fine.
Oh ya, im 20. Does anyone know what is
wrong?

Only a doctor could tell you this, unless
you're going to pass them around for us
all the feel them, lol.... No seriously,
just contact a doctor and have them check
it out.
The only way to know for certain. Good
luck.

Doesn't -sound- particularly bad, but
maybe just a little uncomfortable. With
regards to one ball hanging lower than the
other, that's completely normal. It's
what's meant to happen so they don't knock
together. It's best to go to the doctor
and get the lump checked out though,
although seeing that you've had it years
and it's not done anything I don't think
it's much to worry about, but still better
safe than sorry.

Everything you described sounds normal,
except the pea sized lump. That does not
sound normal. Get it checked by a
doctor, preferably a urologist, as soon as
you can.

What could it be?

I just had a thought... If this lump is
on one end of the ball, it's probably
literally just the thing that connects
your ball to the tube to carry the sperm.
Sorry for the lack of medical words there
heh. It's sometimes about that size!

i don't know off hand, but as a doctor,
the description you gave bothers me. If
you check your balls out, you should do it
after a hot shower so your scrotum is
loose and hanging. Feel each nut
carefully. What you should feel is a
solid mass, oval shaped, and is smooth all
around. You feel spermatic cords, veins,
and other internal parts attached to your
testis and scrotum, but you should not
feel any growths, lumps, or deviations in
the overall oval shape of the testis.
If this lump has been around your whole
life, it should have been detected during
a routine physical. How old are you?
Have you had your testicles examined by a
doctor before? If you have and nothing
was said, then maybe you're overly
sensitive to touch or something and you're
feeling something else...Like a spermatic
cord, vas deferens, epididymis, etc. If
you're truly feeling a lump, and it's a
hard lump, pea sized, then you should see
a physician immediately. See an
internist or urologist (may need a
referral from your internist/gp to see a
uro), but get it checked. If you don't
have a doc, go to the er and say you're
having pain in the lump.
They will check your balls by touch
(palpation). Then they may order a
testicular ultrasound to see the inside to
look for masses, etc. This will be
embarrassing, but not uncomfortable. If
this is cancer, you want to catch it as
soon as possible. Testicular cancer
affects younger men and can be fatal if
caught too late. Get it checked as soon
as you can.
