Small BB Sized "Lump" on Left Testicle

[PhillyEagleFan]

Hey guys,

I'm 19 years old, and just yesterday I noticed a small sized "lump" on my left testicle. It's probably just as big as, or even a little smaller than a BB. But the thing is, it's not necessarily attached to the testicle. I can move it around, as if it's just floating around in there. Also, when I inspect only the left testicle and not the scrotum, the left testicle is usually clear of any lumps. I'm currently away at college and was going to wait until I get home in early May to get it checked out just for assurance. I just wanted to ask you guys if you think I have anything to worry about. I read online that the free floating "lumps" aren't usually cause for concern because they are just a part of the scrotum. Thanks for the help.

If it's not attached to the testicle it won't be teaticular cancer. What you're describing sounds like an epididymal cyst . Get it checked by a doctor but you should be fine.

Thanks for the reply dadmo. That's what I thought at first when I did some research online, but I'll definitely get it checked out the next time I go for my physical in May.

I made the same mistake that you did- going to the internet first instead of a doctor. After only about a week I went to the doctor and found out I needed urgent care... Alot of guys wait much longer than a week, just human nature I guess.
Don't wait until May, go in and see a doctor or your school's medical office.
And do it in a hurry-
Best of luck,

Did you notice the same thing I had though? Meaning was yours floating around or was it attached? The problem is that I'm from outside the Philadelphia area and I'm in college in Arizona, so it would be a little unconvenience to go all the way home to get it checked out if it isn't anything serious. If I noticed it was attached to the testicle, I would definitely go home and get it checked out though. I'll see if the campus medical center has someone I can talk to though.
