Other than epididymis cyst it seems there is one more lump attached to testis....
Hi everone,
I am 23 years of age, Asian (India).
For last 1.5 years I was feeling something like a lump in my right testicle. I used to ignore it, then I googled it & found it can be something serious.
So 6 months ago I went to a doctor, he suggested me USG of inguino scrotal region. I did it & shown my report to a reputed Urologist. He told me its a 10 mm cyst in my right epididymis. He also told 'there is nothing to worry coz its never going to turn into cancer, it may eventually increase in size & if it creates too much problem only then he will suggest operation, otherwise nothing to do with it'. And till now its fine, nothing unusual is occurring in the cyst.
i.e I don't have any problem with the cyst.
(the report was "Both testis is normal in size & position. Echogenicity is homogenous, a cystic SOL of 10mm x 10mm seen in right epididymus. An echogenic band extending craniocaudally seen within testis, the mediastinum testis. Epididymis is normal in size & isoecogenic.")
But from then I was also feeling something like one more lump attached to my testis. I was doubting if it was missed in USG!
But gradually I stopped thinking about it. But for last 1 week I again started to do self exam & can feel it on my testis. I went to that doctor. He himself checked it with his hand & told me that he has not find any unusual lump, according to him its the epididymis that seems to be soo prominent. He told me not to worry but told me that if I have a doubt then I can go for one more USG but as far as he have checked there is nothing to worry.
So I'm going for USG tomorrow. Pray for me plz.
But tell me one thing why its soo prominent in right testis but not in left one! I mean both needs to be equal right?
Can the epididymis be so prominent! How accurate is the USG! Can it miss the testicular lump?
If its not any tumor then what it can be?
I have written a long description, but u know I'm really worried. Plz help me with ur experiences.
