Your testicles should be a little cooleer than the rest of your body, the sperm needs to be at a cooler than body temp to be made--why we have a sack. As for the dampness, you got me, you nervous and sweaty cuz that isn't a symptom of TC as far as I know (I've read some stuff, too. Lots of sleepless nights)?? Go to a doctor they'll get you where you want to be.

i just realized that the testicle with the lumps or whatever it is, is sometimes cool and a little damp and my right testicle seems normal

does that mean anything

Listen to dadmo and check out the link he left-- you should get all of the answers about a varicocele you need. You may want to jsut go to your regular doc as steven did and have 'em take a look-- don't be your own doctor and decide you are okay just by reading the net! We (the people on the forum) are here to help but are no substitute for real medical attention. Hope all is well!! Good luck this up-coming soccer season!

If you have a varicocele most likely no treatment will be needed. Check out this link for more information.

k

ya it kinda does feel like that

would i need surgorey if its that or have my testicle removed or cause infertily

[Ras Joe]

Hey-- Does what you feel, feel like a big lumpy bag of worms? It could be what is called a varicocele, a harmless condition. A friend asked me about something that was in his words "wierd lumpy stuff in the back of my ball that makes my one nut look twice the size of the other." Sounds similar to what you are saying. Talk to your parents and go to a urologist, a simple painless ultrasound will give you the answers you are looking for and your parents and all of us here will be proud of you for taking care of your health and not possibly putting yourself at danger. Sucks to have to worry and wait-- the sooner you go the better, promise.

1 month could be the difference between life and death for a patient with aggressive cancer... 2 words that should NEVER be spoken in the same sententence CANCER and WAIT... Don't be foolish...get checked ASAP!!!!

I have question: lets say i do have TC but havent gone to a doctor yet is there anyway i can tell if its at stage 2 or 3

The only thing to do is talk to a parent and have your doctor check it out. Anything else is just speculation.

[dadmo]

A sports physical will not detect tc. I would get to a urologist and let him check you out. Don't put this off if it is tc the sooner it's caught the better.

[helpmeplz]

im not kinda

Im not avoiding the doctor sorta

I'm going to get a physical for soccer
but thats not for almost a month do you think i need to see the docotr now or can it wait a month, or shouldnt i even talk about it during the physical....

about how long does it take to spread to other stages

[dadmo]

Why are you avoiding the doctor?

[helpmeplz]

ok once again i jumped to a conclusion about having a cyst but for this one i was pretty sure and i didnt see a docotr about it. It had at the symptoms but now its gone so im not worried about it anymore

The thing on my testicle isnt anything like the cyst at all. I have question: lets say i do have TC but havent gone to a doctor yet is there anyway i can tell if its at stage 2 or 3

[dadmo]

Did you go to the doctor for the cyst? If it is a benign tumor it will be removed and that will be that, no other treatment should be required. But before you even worry about that get yourself to a doctor for a proper diagnosis.

[helpmeplz]

Im pretty sure its not a cyst i had a cyst about a week ago and lucky it went away

what a benign Tumor is it curable and less serious?
