Very Concerned

[jmk123]

So I've had this ache in my lower abdomen and testicles for a while now. Its usually on my right side, but can be on both. It extends from roughly my belt line to my testicle to the top of my inner thigh. I got worried about cancer a while back and looked into how to do an exam. I've been doing a lot and never found anything, except a very soft lump above the left testicle which can move and is not attached to the testicle. So, since I thought the only symptom is a lump and I never had any that fit the bill I never did anything. Well, I was browsing webmd a few days ago and found that the dull ache I have is actually a symptom, though usually not on its own. Needless to say, it got me worried all over again.

Basically my question is this: I have my yearly physical in the middle of April and will most definately express my concerns at that point. However, is it necessary to see a doctor before or can it wait that month and a half? In other words, does this one symptom by itself constitute an emergency?

I sound a lot more composed on the issue than I am, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

As long as the ache doesn't get worse you should be fine waiting till April but make sure you tell the doctor about your concerns.
