So I have a lump

My doctor is thinking a varicose vein or cyst, but due to it’s location (detached from a teste) I have to get a ultrasound scan…

I’m glad I had the balls to get it checked :slight_smile:

Lets see how long I have to wait on the NHS…

Be assertive in getting your treatment. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

At least it’s not a running injury, like I initially thought… Dr Google is useless!

I had a similar thing, but the doctor didn’t give me an ultrasound scan. I guess he thought it was an ingrown hair or something.

My husband just went through this. It’s usually just a cyst. Don’t worry too much. Sending good vibes your way!

I’m sorry to hear this! I wish you the best of luck with it. I thought I had lumps several times, but it always turned out to be nothing…

I just had a golf ball sized cyst removed from my neck in October.

Surgery to remove it was not a big deal. It was also not very expensive under Medicare.

Our NHS is like having medicare for all :wink:

I recently had a lump and had to have a scan and biopsy. It turned out to be a type of cyst. Don’t fret in majority of cases almost all it’s nothing at all to be worried about. Most likely nothing. I worried over nothing.

I am sure it will turn out to be nothing, but I am wishing you good luck all the same!

Good Luck! I will pray on your behalf

It’s definitely just a cyst that I’ll just need yearly scans of, providing it doesn’t grow drastically in size…

I’m glad everything turned out to be okay even though having a cyst still probably sucks. Anyway what I’m trying to say is that I’m glad it was nothing major. :slight_smile:
