Worried, Do I have TC, waiting for MRI

[srini]

Hello all,

I have juts found this site, I am glad I found it. It seems like there are many people here who have gone thru these issues, just wondering what you think and suggest.
I have small lump at the bottom (almost to the back) of my right testicle. It gets bigger when I am with my wife besides that no pain.
I went to my primary care doctor who said it is fine, but after Ultrascan found small lump and referred me to Urologist, Urologist did the manual exam and said it could be some kind of growth not necessarily TC, I am going for testicle MRI on coming Monday, I am nervous.

Thanks in Advance,
Srini

srini:
Did the ultrasound show a solid mass or was it fluid filled? Your urologist should be able to tell you that. If the mass is solid the testicle will have to be removed. They really can't tell you what the solid mass is without examining it under a microscope. If it's fluid filled they may do nothing. Let us know what the doc says and we should be able to give you more answers.

Hi Dadmo,

Ultrasound scan showed a mass, looks like I have to get prepared for removal .

I would be ready for the removal. If it's a solid mass it will need to be sent out for examination. Sorry
