Worried. found a lump (graphic explanation not for the weak)

It’s on my man parts, yes my testicles. I am worried but not too worried, the lump is about as big as a pea. It’s on the tendrils leading to the testicles, not the testicle itself. sorry so graphic but I am hoping someone can put my worries to rest. Should I get it checked out?

best to get it checked out…
take care :alien:

Yes. you need to get it looked at. It will just play on your mind if you don’t. Hopefully it’s just nothing but as I said you will feel better for knowing that.

Have been there myself was rather embarrassing, but only a quick look by the doc was needed.

Yes, get it checked out. I’ve had several little lumps or bumps “down there” before. I had them checked out and my doctor said they were essentially harmless but it was my choice if I wanted them taken off. or not. I said no. This was about two years ago.
Of course you should get that lump checked out. It could be nothing but it’s wise not to take any chances.

Sounds like it may be epididymitis. OK, so what happens is the epididymis ( piece of tissue that passes from the testicle to mold together a junction point with the vas defrenes. The vas carries semen into the canal to be ejaculated. So in layman’s terms. 1) You slept with someone who had a disease, or, 2) you have a transient infection that can be resolved after taking Cipro 500 mg 2x/day. I think we’re on the right point. You will need a urologist though.

I would take tom green’s advice on this one.

sounds like a giant headache. thanks for your speedy replies, especially to alien for your indepth knowledge.

Yeah, I agree. he’s also someone to call if you have problems with your bum.

Hopefully it will be fine. Probably a ruptured vein or minor cyst or something. Do you bicycle? Just show it to the doc .

Don’t take any chances. Get it checked. The sooner you do that the sooner you can put your mind at rest.
