Lump Behind My Left Testicle? Posted: 01-27-07 14:59pm
Uhhh.. I don't really know how to word
this
but uh
behind my left testicle is a big mass of
idk what, the only thing I could think of
is maybe a hernia, I know my brother had a
hernia, but that is also because he worked
out a lot, I have had this for a long time
and I never knew if I should ask anyone,
it seems like its kind of attatched to my
testicle, but I dont know
i dont want to get it checked because im
kind of embarresed by it, I know this
summer though I will get a physicle
anyone know what this could be?? My right
one doesnt have the same as my left.
Anyone know what this could be?

I have this. I went to the doctor about
it and it turned out to be the
"epydepimis" which is all part of your
testicle. If youre that worried dude, get
it checked!!! Chances are its nothing and
itll be a huge weight off your mind. I
thought my lump was cancer but cancer of
the testicles is often a lump not
attatched to the ball itself.

You should always go to a doctor when you
find lumps on or around your testicles.
It could be your epididymis, but the one
on the right should be similar, but I
don't know if that would be a guarantee of
similarity. It could be a vein, such as a
varicocele (varicose vein of the
testicle).
Go the doctor and find out. Then in the
future you'll be better able to notice
changes and know when to go the doctor
again. Don't be embarrassed, they've seen
everything. If you have a female doctor,
switch to a male doctor. If you're
uncomfortable with males, get a female
doctor. Ultimately, they're doctors and
that's their job and they don't judge you
so either would be fine, but if you have
to do something to make yourself more
comfortable about it, do it.

Well the thing is im not embarrassed about
the doctor, its my family. I could care
less about someone I don't even know , but
my family is always there
i think I will wait a year when I get to
drive and maybe check on my own without
anyone knowing since it seems to not be
that serious
thanks for the help guys
but there is no way it could be a vein....
Its way to big for a vein, I think its
bigger than the testicle itself

How do you know it's not serious if you
don't know what it is?
Ask your parents to make an appointment
and see the doctor yourself. They may
have to know what the diagnosis is, but
they don't have to be in the room while
you're examined.

id rather wait till after this summer when
I have a car
if I can keep my family out id rather do
that
ive had it for a couple of years so I mean
another half shouldnt hurt that much
