Worried

[VINceNT989]

Hello

Im 17 years old and recently found that one of my testicles was larger than the other. Ive been informed it is probably a hydrocele and have an appointment with a doctor soon. Ive read a little about hydroceles and am still not sure what could have caused it at my age. Could it have anything to do with a cancerous tumor? Im very active in sports, weightlifting and yard work so it could be caused by a hernia.. right? Ive been told not to sweat it but im still scared. Is it something that has to be dealt with immediately? Anyresponces or help would be greatly apprecieated. Thanks a lot!

Most of the time it is hydrocele. But if it TC then it is very curable. Im not an expert so im not going to say munch, but wait for the results and live life normal dont try to worry about it.

Vince, it's important to get into a urologist right away, and get an ultrasound done. The sooner you can get a diagnosis, the better. If it is cancer, it sneaks up on you in a matter of weeks (at least it did for me). You don't wanna mess around with this.

If it is a hydrocele, it may not even need treatment, but you need to be sure. Keep that doctor's appointment (how soon?) and ask about an ultrasound.
