I am 18 years of age and I have noticed that when ever i get erect it feels like i have two lumps on the front of each testicle, they dont hurt, and when im not erect i dont feel them at all, its like their gone. Should I be worried?

Pains
I sometimes also have pains in my lower abdomen, but they are very rare and dont last long, i think im in trouble and imscared -
Welcome:
Occasional abdominal pains are often caused by intestinal cramps or gas in the intestine and are generally nothing to worry about. Sharp, persistant abdominal pain (naval area to lower right side) with fever can be a symptom of appendicitis and should be checked by a doctor.
AS for the lumps on the testicles, it would be very rare to have testicular cancer in both testicles at the same time, and the fact that you can't always feel the lumps, suggests that they may be a normal structure. It's possible the changes in blood flow and muscle tone during an erection just make them more prominent.
That being said, it is never a bad idea to check with a doctor, expecially if you haven't had a routine physical exam recently. After all if your doctor gives you the all clear, you could relax and enjoy the summer.
Best wishes.Fish
