Do I have cancer???

Thanks everyone! The swelling has gone down. He said everything is normal and it was probably inflammation.

That's great news. Be sure to let us know how your doctor's appointment goes.

I have an appointment on Wednesday. It was a little awkward when my mum kept asking questions, but at least I have my appointment now.

I'm so nervous!

ya kno man, i'm 16 and trust me it took me about 2 weeks to tell my parents, but once i did o my it felt like someone took a whole lot of weight off my shoulders. I had a hydrocele, its pretty much just when someone has much bigger testicle then the other.....i'm really telling you that u gotta tell ur parents or a close friend or family member....i was embaressed when i told them, but i did.....i wish u the best of luck and keep us updated

It's easier than you think to tell your parents, as most guys here will tell you. This post covers it pretty well.

Oh and I also had an undescended testicle and surgery and stuff when I was 3 which I read leads to a greater risk which has made me even more paranoid!

I am 14, I live in Ohio.

Anyway, my friend recently became concerned over testicular cancer, and then I became paranoid.
I decided to "check" I guess you would say, and I think my left testicle is significantly bigger than the other...it is not variociles (sp?) because there aren't any large or twisted veins and it is not painful. My lower stomach hurts every once and my testicle can be very tender (I keep on checking to make sure I am not just paranoid)
How do I go about asking my parents to make me an appointment?
