In 2000 I descovered a lump on my left testicle, I was 15. It was bigger than a pea, probably like the size of a bean? Anyway, I went to the urologist and he told me it was a Varicocele. I had the surgery, but after I recorvered the lump was still there, same size and everything. So I went back, he said it was "scar tissue". So I went on with my life, etc.
Well, now I'm 21, and recently I've been getting pain in both of my testicles, with the lump still on my left testicle after all these years. The pains are the dull kind of uncomfortable pain, nothing terrible. And some new pains. Like in my lower abdomin, lower back, and groin. The pains are sharp and don't last more than a few seconds, except the back pain. And it feels sometimes like my testicles are tender a lot, when I'm just sitting doing nothing.
So I went back to the doctor recently, and he gave me a urinalysis (which came back negative today) and an ultrasound. But I don't have my untrasound untill April 24th, they're only opening, so I have to wait. But I thought I'd post here to get other peoples advice.
And I was thinking maybe TC, highly unlikely, but you never know. I have cancer in my family, and when I was young I had an undescended testicle, and I read that you're 40 times more likely to get TC because of a undescended testicle. Or maybe I still have a Vericocele? Who knows. Just thought I'd see what other people with experience in this had to say. Thanks.
