Something that worried me...

[chris27]

Hello my name is Chris and i'm 17 years old and i'm worried over something that could be nothing or can be serious...

About three days ago I started feeling a dull ache on the bottom of my left teste and sometimes it travels up into my abdomin when it when it aches sometimes. I also noticed that it looked alittle bigger than the right one but i don't know if thats normal or not. I felt arond on both testes and the right one feels like it's normal but the left one feels bigger and I feel like these lump things on the bottom of it and sometimes on the side and the ache starts on the bottom. I don't know if it's a vein or not. There is also these floating lump things too.

It just worried me and I found this site and thought I should post and find out whats wrong..

Hi, Chris,

Well, you definitely want to have it checked out by a doctor. There are a number of things aside from TC that can cause the symptoms you are feeling, but TC is the most serious possibility, so you really need to have that ruled out. Also, even for the other possibilities, some require treatment to prevent further problems later.

Please ask your folks to make an appointment for you--the doctor's exam is quick and painless, but very important.

Feel free to post back if you have any other questions.
