I am 19 and about a year ago I started experiencing some aching in my testicles so I had an ultrasound scan, everything was good. Now, I have noticed in the bath on my right testicle a lump, but I only notice it in hot water, what could this be? I am worried it is a sign of cancer. I have a doctor's appointment booked for a week's time.
Does anyone know how long an ultrasound scan is valid for too?
My left testical has been hurting a little while now, especially by the epididymis. My testical is a little swollen and I found a hard lump about the size of half a grain of rice on my testical, the lump itself doesnt hurt though. I also have been having some pain in my lower back and feel a lil sick with a headache. Can someone please help and let me know what they think. I'm 19 by the way.
View 3 RepliesI am a 17 year old and 5 months ago I noticed a lump above my left testicle it doesn't hurt and is soft and can be moved around I was worried about it then forgot about it up until now. I've been having back pain for the last 5 days and I'm wondering if its TC.
View 9 RepliesI am 15 years old and ever since I was 14 I have noticed that a large testicular lump (about twice the size of my normal testicles) would come in my scrotum and go; meaning sometimes it would come and other times it wasn't there and it would look like I have a normal scrotum with two testicles. I've always wondered what it was but I was to afraid to ask my parents to take me to the doctor so I just left it alone. But now that I know it can be testicular cancer I'm really scared. When I touch it, it doesn't hurt at all, I can even squeeze it without it hurting too much. Could it be because of masturbating? I masturbate 1-2 times a day. I've looked at the symptoms of testicular cancer and one of them was having a testicular lump, but I don't have any other of the symptoms. So my question is, why do I have this and is it harmful?
View 3 RepliesI found a tiny floating lump about the size of a sesame seed between my epidermis and not attached to my left testicle. It doesn't hurt when press or anything or appear to grow, I have kept an eyes on it for several months. Do I need an ultrasound?
View 1 RepliesI'm 26 years old and I've had a dull ache in my left testicle for the past 3-4 months.
I've been to see my GP numerous times, and finally got referred to a urologist yesterday. I was there for a about 5 minutes, he had a quick feel and said nothing was wrong and didn't give me much assurance or guidance as to what I can do to help myself.
I've had a very small cyst on my left testicle since late 2008, and have been told that I have nothing to worry with that.
When I exercise I tend to aggravate the ache more so I haven't properly exercised in months which is very annoying for me.
I tend to notice the ache a lot more when I'm lying down, but it does go away after a while.
My testicles have been hurting off and on for around 6 months. I got a ultrasound on them 3 months ago and they said all i had was fluid build up and a spermatic cyst. They gave me nothing for it. Could i have developed cancer within that 3 months or would they have seen it on the ultrasound? The pain in my testicles rotate and are off and on. I get stomach cramps frequently and now im worried im not breathing properly. I have been checked for stds and tested negative for chlamydia and gono and others. However when i aroused a lot of precum comes out ( at least that's what i think the fluid is) Also after i pee i have a little fluid come out. What could be wrong?

View 1 RepliesI felt some pain in my right testicle on Tuesday, it soon disappeared. Then last night (Friday) it was feeling a bit painful again after ejaculating, which hasn't happened before. Since it was only the right testicle I had a quick check (even got a warm shower) and felt a small lump about the size of a pinhead. I'm pretty sure it's on the testicle itself - although I find it hard to say where the lump is because it seems to be different (I guess that's just the movement of the testicle) it's near the top, where all the tubes attach, it feels as if there's a tube that actually runs to the lump. I wouldn't say it was painful but when I push or wiggle it, it gives me that kicked in the balls kind of pain, just scaled down quite a bit. Right now I just feel a bit of an annoyance down there, I did masturbate about an hour ago to see if it brought on pain again, but it didn't.
Some additional information: I remember that there was a period, probably around six months ago, when my testicles would sometimes hurt then running, but I thought nothing of it.
I'm in my late teens and now I'm really worried, could barely eat last night after I found the small lump. All of today I've been feeling worried, even bailed out of my plans for tonight. On the one hand I really want to get it checked out especially since I'm going on vacation next week, like with anything, I get overly worried, but on the other hand I do not like the thought of the doctor checking out my balls and I feel really anxious about telling my parents. How can I just go up to my mum and say 'I just found a lump on my balls' would I even say balls? It's just so awkward; we've never spoke about anything like that.
I don't really know why I'm on here. I know that I really should go get it checked out, I also know that I don't necessarily have to tell my parents but I'd rather them know, I think.. I mean I don't even know how to book a doctor's appointment, never mind one for a matter like this.
The thought that this is could be Cancer just makes me feel awful, I want to just say to my self that it's probably nothing, but I can't. 24 hours ago I had nothing on my mind and was looking forward to the weekend, now I can't stop googling this and feeling my balls. Whenever I think to do something to get my mind at rest, such as watching TV or going out I just think NO that's not going to change anything, I know I can't just sit back, but I don't know what to do!
I'm a 17 year old male with no previous health issues etc.
I noticed on saturday morning (about 40 hours ago) that there was a very small painless lump on my left testicle near the epididymis. Although I plan to make an appointment with the GP tomorrow I was wondering if anyone could give any advice or information about it. Has anyone else experienced a small lump in this area?
I'm 16 and for the last few months I felt a lump on the outer side of my left testicle. Its not like it hurts or swollen like what I hear to look for in article and videos I seen. But the lump concerns me and I feel pain on my caves that feel like its being pulled. The lump might be nothing it could be a bug bite that I'm thinking to hard into.
View 1 RepliesI'm a teenager and around 2 months ago I started to notice a dull ache in my left testicle, I ignored it and it went away after a few weeks, then a few weeks after no discomfort, the dull ache returned to my left testicle, soon radiating to my right testicle. After a examination I discovered a small mass on the top of my testicle, I don't think it is attached as I can get my finger between the mass and my testicle. I have also been experiencing a dull stomach ache like ive been kicked in the balls and my legs have also been aching but that has stopped. As I am typing this I still have the mass above my right testicle which has gotten a little bigger and I also have this dull stomach ache which is always there! I do not wan't to visit the doc because I simply don't want anybody feeling my testicles (Forgot to mention, Lump is size of pea, Quite small and feels oval shaped and I have also experienced groin pain, like I have pulled a muscle or something the groin pain has since vanished)
View 2 RepliesI had a vasectomy going on 8 days ago. The procedure was said to have gone well. I bruised quite badly and my scrotum and area up into my groin (mainly right side and above penis) swelled remarkably. The swelling has gone done significantly the last two days and my bruising is looking mildly better. My issue at present is my right testicle is sitting much higher than my left testicle. The left looks to be resting normally, and the right feels almost attached to the base of my penis. There is still some mild swelling above my penis on the right side in the groin. The swelling feels hard in the groin and runs down and meets the top of my right testicle.
you can imagine this is uncomfortable, but not outrageously painful. I can see my mobility being hampered if the right teste does not descend lower in a more normal resting position. Is this a normal experience that eventually resolves itself?
I have had a lump on my tibia for about 3 months now. I first noticed it as my leg was sore at night when I rolled over one night. I started to stretch it at night before I went to sleep and after 4 days it went, but the lump didn't but I pushed it aside. Until 2 weeks ago when I had to go to the doctor about my back I decided to bring up the lump cause it was still there. No pain at all this whole time didn't relies me leg was swollen. She felt it and said its firm so she sent me for an ultrasound. While I was getting it done the lady felt the lump on my leg but couldn't see anything on the screen. she went and got one of the doctors there and he said the same thing they could see my leg was swollen, and they could feel the lump but couldn't see anything. He said to me to keep an eye on it and if it gets bigger have an mri done on it. I went back to my doctor, she sent me for a x-ray. X-ray come back they said there was no abnormalities, but they requested for me to have a mri done. There are two white/grey spots on my xray not on the bone tho not on the tissues but if this make sense there near the edge of the shadow of my scan. I cant remember exactly what my doc said. I cant afford to get a mri I will eventually get it down its just the last 2 nights and today I've had pain and a bit on pin and needles on my foot and leg. Same leg where the lump is. It started 2 nights ago I got out of the shower and my leg felt weird, it felt tight when I walked on it and I bit tingly and I kept getting a hot flush on it.The next day it was fine till that night again got out of the shower and I had pain and sharp jabs from my thigh to my foot and I dull ache in my leg. and I was fine and all of a sudden I felt really sick so I sat down and watched tv for a bit and it went. Today my knee has been sore half the day bending down and walking its fine now tho.. My leg dose feel heavier than the other when I stretch or lift my leg up. Could all they pain and problems have something to do with the lump? My gut is telling me something is wrong, My mum has cancer and it terminal not in the leg or bone anything hers is the liver,bowel and shes had it in the cervix
View 2 RepliesI am 26 years old. Some months ago a soft long lump is formed in the palm of my hands, both left and right hand. It's bigger on my right hand and it's about 1 inch long. It doesn't hurt except for some slight cramps that happens very rarely, sometimes I even feel some slight cramp or tension that goes to my forearm (don't know if that's related). I had made X-ray tests and it all seems normal. Is this a tumor or anything I should be too worried about?
View 2 RepliesI was diagnosed with melanoma in 2006 and had to have my toe amputated. I have been fine since, however I have been worried about a lump in my groin. The thing is....this morning it's now a bit smaller. Should I assume it's nothing serious since it has reduced in size, and no need to get it checked by dermatologist?
View 1 RepliesDr has assured me that it is one pile but after a bowel cancer scare, I worry about anything abnormal! It is just inside my anus and no pain, itching or blood. The ointment has had no effect after 10 days or so. It could have been there for much longer, I just might not have noticed it. I did strain when I was able to have bowel movements again after the tumour was removed but usually they are quite soft. I think I panicked and overdid it in case there was another blockage. How long before they disappear? I am worried that it is not piles but the beginning of another cancer problem. I just wish it would go away!
View 14 RepliesI'm 18 and worried about breast cancer, is it possible? I know it's very unlikely but I can't help worrying.
I do tend to be overly anxious and paranoid about myself, to the point where I feel nauseous and short of breath and perhaps even imagine symptoms.
A few months ago, back in March, I had sharp pain in my chest on and off but pretty regularly for a few weeks until it gradually went away. I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I thought I'd mention it just in case!
About a week ago, I started feeling sharp pains in my chest, on the left side, when I'd sit up or lay down or move a certain way. That night, I noticed a lump under my left breast- pretty hard, and I can't tell if it moves slightly or not. It's a bit sore now, but only because I've been worrying and checking it, it didn't hurt on its own. I'm feeling sharp pain throughout both of my breasts and further below as well. I feel like there's a tightness in my chest, but that could very probably be my anxiety's fault. (I did feel like I noticed the bump a few months ago, but it was much smaller. I brushed it off as my being too nervous, and I could be wrong.)
Coincidentally, I have a general physical scheduled for Friday, so I'm definitely going to have it checked out, but I'm worrying myself sick because I think it might be breast cancer. I know it's extremely unlikely that someone as young as I am has it, but I'm so paranoid!
Am I being crazy? Every time I feel that stabbing pain I feel like I might have a heart attack. Is there anything else it could be?
I have had a recent ultrasound scan done on a hard lump on what seems to be my occipital lymph node, it doesn't move at all, it feels like bone and is painless, my lymph nodes on my neck have been swollen for 15 months and now in the past 2 weeks another lump has appeared on my shin bone, that lump is also solid and doesn't move however this one has become tender, i am being referred by the doctor who did my scan to have some "needlework" done i was wondering if this means a biopsy?
I also have other symptoms however i am currently being tested for lupus and my gp is querying antiphospholipid syndrome (hughes syndrome), my recent bloods tests have shown my cardiolipin antibodies as positive (i've had this test done 3 times within the past 3 months, positive every time) also my ESR was highlighted as 2mm (but the gp assured me this is normal)
I am a 24 year old female and also an epileptic and unable to take epilepsy medications due to severe allergic reactions which is now believed to be my immune system fighting off the medications, hence all the testing which is what has led up to this point. Another symptom when i deep breath i get a sharp pain in my diaphragm in the chest.
I really want to know if this could be lymphoma or if someone has had a similar experience as i've had no direct answers yet and i'm getting worried?
I have a feeling of a lump in my esophagus every time I swallow. I have note noticed any swelling, no fever, just discomfort, and I am coughing more than usual. I am really concerned about cancer.
View 1 RepliesI'm 15 and right now I'm cry my eyes out. For about a year, I've had a hardish, moveable, painless lump under my left labia majora. I am not sexually active and suffer with anxiety so I'm freaking out in case I have vulvar cancer. I have no symptoms, nothing is out of the usual, I'm just really scared. Also there seems to be some kind of painful lymph node on the top of my inner thigh, near my vagina, which swells up when I'm sick, it's quite painful but goes down and only seems to come when I have an infection.
