There is this lump

[chardz]

Hey, i have had a lump/ bubble right above my right testicle. i did end up going to the ER as it got as big as a walnut, they did and ultrasound on it and said it is a hydrocele, but all the information i can find on it says it only happens to young kids under the age of 5. well im allmost 21, i was told by them to set up a surgery appointment asap, so i did i go in on the 16th of september to i guess get it removed, i was wondering if this could be a cause of TC, or could it end up causing TC, and whats the risk of me goin steral after they cut into me.

thanks for you guys help

The following site may provide some useful information for you. I don't know enough about hydroceles to fully comment on your particular questions, but I'm fairly positive that a hyrocele isn't a precursor to testicular cancer. Best of luck.
