Scared and Worried

[dalek]

Hi,
I hope you don't mind me posting on here.

Around April time, I noticed that I was having some pain down below and went to my GP. They believed it was down to an infection but then I went back at least two or three times after by which time they said an ultrasound would be needed.

I have recently had my ultrasound scan and the consultant who did the scan was quite open with me. They usually don't say anything. The report said that the testicle has a coarse echotexture with some califications and slightly small. He said that my testis "looks very sorry for itself."

I have had an undescended testes brought down at a very young age but the other one could never be found when they operated so they thought it had never developed. Because of this, I am very worried in case it is going bad ways.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice about this and whether you think this is something that is potentially turning bad?

Thank you,

Have you received the ultrasound results yet from your radiologist?

Not to discourage you, but because you had undescended testicles at a young age, your risk for testicular cancer does increase. If it does end up being testicular cancer, I wouldn't worry too much. It is a very curable disease with lots of treatment options depending on the type of cancer. Best of luck to you and your journey.
