what do i have

[jackson55]

hey guys for about 9 months i feel like my left testicle has been bigger and my left has shrunk, also in the left testicle there are alot of veins and when im standing up and my testicle is relaxed those veins go to the bottom and get really thick and you can see them under my testicle almost like a cinommon roll...i went to a gp doc last tuesday and he said its nothing your fine but when he saw my my testicles were cold and tight and you couldnt notice anyway......what do u guys think

[jackson55]

hey guys i also noticed a lump the size of a pea on the top or bottom of the testicle i can squeeze it and its alittle tender it feels very much connected or embeded in the testicle and i think i might have the same thing in the same area on right testicle as well, i can push down on it and it feels semi soft ......?????

I can't tell from the description whether there's anything wrong. How much of an examination did your doctor do? If you're still concerned, you might want to see a urologist and ask him about an ultrasound of the testicle.

he looked at it for about a minute felt with his hands and then said he doesnt see anything wrong ...he said if u absoultly need a ultrasound i can refeer u...so he gave me a referal sheet that said ....mass doubt,varacoclie doubt, please inform patient if negative so he stops worrying

You might as well take the referral and find out for sure.

Hi Jackson.

An ultrasound scan sounds like a good next step. It will tell you if there is a solid mass or not.
I know that it's strange to say in a place where almost everybody have (had!) TC, but it is a rare thing, whereas epididymitis, cysts and stuff are not.

Remember to tell us what the US shows.

Best wishes
