Found wierd small Lump, please help me!

[worriedyounguy]

I found a small lump on my right testicle on the side area months ago. The lump is smaller than a pea and is painless. It's been there for a while. But now i have had abdominal pains for about a week all day long. It isn't extreme pain but a bit discomforting. I wonder if there could be a connection. I have an apointment this friday. But i would like to know what you guy's think about it.

You should definitely get that lump checked out, as it could be testicular cancer, although there are other possibilities, too.

Don't take any chances. Get a doctor's appointment scheduled. You may want to go directly to a urologist rather than your general practitioner.

You're certainly doing the right thing getting checked. I'm not saying that I think you have tc but lymph node involvement from tc can often exhibit itself as abdominal or back pain.

i went to my doctor and he said that he is 100% sure that it is a benign lump. He said it is so small and that the fact that it has been there for over 6 months and hasn't changed in size and probably has been there for longer is another reason why it is not tc. He is having me do a scan just so it is officialy ruled out.

See if you can push for blood work to.

That's great news that you've been to the doctor and have an ultrasound scheduled. If it does turn out to be nothing, it will be worth having checked out so that you can stop worrying about it, and if it should turn out to be cancer, it will be cured.

i did get a blood test that day. if it was urgent i guess they would have called. He was very persistent that it was not cancer at all. He just wanted the test done to be officialy ruled out. I feel good because I am pretty sure that it's not. I found the lump such a long time ago and it is still the same size. It was so small that the two doctors who were checking it could not find it until i found it and told them where to feel. The only thing i am worried about is the stomach aches that i have been having for over a week now. He thinks it's bacteria.

had my ultra sound today and they found nothing. All they found was a water sack which they said was normal and i am relieved.
