Hi,
i'm 19 and sexually active but I've been with the same girl for over 2 years, and about a week ago i noticed some pain in my left testicle, on a scale of 1-10 it was probably about a 6. I work out about 5 days a week but I don't recall any specific instances of pain or pulling something. it was still hurting the following day so I felt around and found a very tiny bump on the back/top of my left testicle. probably about 1mm in size it's fairly firm and is right near where the epididymis meets the testicle. I decided to wait to see if the pain/bump would go away. a few days ago the pain went down but it's not completely gone, it fluctuates between 0-2 on a 10 point scale and I decided to see an on-campus doctor at my university yesterday. he tested me for chlamydia (ow) and prescribed me Doxycycline in case it's an infection.
He seemed to think the tiny bump was too hard to be a cyst, and was concerned that it didn't feel the same as my other testicle..? to be cautious he's having me get an ultrasound to see exactly what it is. As far as symptoms there's no swelling, and there might be a very slight groin pain but it's probably just my imagination. i was also very tired for the first couple days after i felt the pain and slept for about 12 hours both of the following nights. the bump itself is pretty sensitive and discomforting to touch. I tried to be as thourough as I could about my situation and greatly appreciate anyone who reads or responds to this. please share some thoughts about what this might be, good or bad, because it's really starting to worry me. thank you all.
