Hello

[justaguy]

Hello,

I'm 21 years old and a little bit worried. About 2 weeks ago I noticed a lump on my left teste. It is near the bottom and facing the other testicle. I have noticed in the past few months that my left testicle has sagged quiet alot, like after coming out of a hot shower or something like that it is hanging about twice as low as the right testicle. Recently I have felt a little pain in my left teste and the area right above it, not the abdomen, but below it. As well, if I move scrotum around the bump, i can see the bump protruding. It is attached to the testicle itself. I have went to my family doctor and she has booked me for an ultrasound this coming Tuesday on the 24th.

Could this just be a cyst? Is there a difference in texture between a testicular cancer lump and a spermatocele?

Thanks for your time,

Just a guy

The ultrasound will show whether it's a cyst or a solid mass. It's great that you went to the doctor right away. The answers are coming. Hang in there.

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your reply Scott. Today seems like an eternity because I'm waiting for tomorrow. Oh boy.. I am really stressed out at this point and would rather know what it is right now then wait for tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Thanks for your time,

Thanks for your support.

I just want to say thanks for the support I'm recieving from the both of you.

I have another concern, last night and today I've had dry orgasms, nothing comes out.. What's going on? Is this related to testicular cancer or? :/

Thanks for your time,

That's not one of the symptoms of tc. It can be associated with a bladder problem where the valve doesn't work quite right. Just mention it to your doctor that you had retrograde ejaculation. It's not dangerous in itself but just get that checked.

Hey Just a guy,

I also suffer from retrograde Ejaculation, along with many other symptoms that has led to a possible diagnosis of nerve damage because Mulltiple Scllerosis to my bladder schfinkter. But thats another story to my recent TC fear...my ultrasound is tomorrow. I have had rough time since March 2005. Menengitis left me with a total loss of hearing (profound) my right ear that is non recoverable, 1 week stay in the hospital). In early July of 06 I developed a common ear infection now in my left ear (OMG). Being stubborn I waited to long and was rushed to the hospital because my ear was leaking Cerebral Spinal Fluid. Up to OR and they has to remove my 3 bones of hearing, remove all the infection fix the hole on my oval window the close me up, sewed my ear back on ( 6 day Hospital stay).
I am now left with about 10% in my only functioning right ear. Them came the MS scare which is ongoing. And now Possible TC.

Time heals almost everything. Give time time

However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

Believe in miracles.


Good evening

elexure, your story really made me emotional but your strength of character is increadable in dealing with this. I need to learn from you for dealing with my own condition. I am suffering from primary hypogonadism and in turn low testosterone (due to varicoceles). I truelly wish you all the best for your future and will pray you get better health this year. Stay strong and never lose hope.

justaguy, you were fast to notice the lump and i am confident that it won't be anything serious. Good luck with your check up and let us know how you get on!
