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 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?
I 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 RepliesMy 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 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.
View 3 RepliesI developed a hard (bone-like) lump on the left side of my nasal bridge 3 weeks ago after falling asleep on my couch. It's very painful and aches all the time, even without touching it. It's grown a bit bigger as the weeks have gone by.
Now, I have developed symptoms of a sinus infection and chest infection, that won't go away.
I'm constantly tired and my immune system is the lowest it's ever been, seeing as in the last few months, I've needed an operation to remove a pilonidal sinus, my appendix and some ovarian cysts (that were haemorrhaging), and straight after, this!
Other symptoms include -
A loss of appetite
Weight loss
Just feeling blue all the time
Headaches
Fever
Pain under my left eye
Very large lymph nodes in my neck
Is it cancer? Especially if I did nothing to aggravate the bump??
I'm a 19 year old girl, who doesn't smoke or drink.
I would love to know if other people are experiencing this, or if anyone can help me figure out what this is, because I'm sick of being sick and of being in hospital, and would like to get on with life.
I'm in my mid teens, and earlier on this evening, i noticed that my right breast slightly ached, so i checked it out myself and found a lump, which is not visible on the surface of the skin. The lump is located on the left hand side of the right breast, directly next to and underneath the nipple. The nipple on my left breast is flat, which i got checked out earlier in the year by my doctor. The lump inside my breast feels unmovable, possibly quite large, and aches even when its not touched.
I am also two weeks late for my period, which hasn't occurred before.
I need to get this checker out, however, beforehand, i would like some advice on whether or not it could be premature breast cancer, and whether or not it can be treated. I have also read up on the possible link between breast cancer and infertility.
I have a weird shaped lump on my right breast on the lower left side. And it feels like I have a big mass besides that. I'm 22, and its causing me a lot of pain in my ribs and back, and is swollen and red.
View 1 RepliesCan the skin on the testicles be removed just like circumcision where the skin covering the glans is removed.
View 3 RepliesI struggle with pain in my left testicle on a regular basis, lately it seems to be getting worse after ejaculation. Another problem is that it seems to draw way up inside to the point that I have to push it back into my scrotum. Does this just happen to me because the urologist don't seem to have an answer!
View 9 RepliesMy problems began nearly 9 yrs ago. I had lower abdominal pain, pain on ejaculation, testicular pain, pain and burning when urinating and pain in the tip of my penis. The symptoms worsened over time. There is no respite and even certain types of underwear are difficult to wear causing aggravation. I have had varying opinions from Doctors and Consultants causing me more frustration. Suggested treatments have included drug prescriptions and even anti-depressants (which I have avoided). I have been treated at a local Pain Management Unit and undergone various tests, including injections and a scan. I was recently informed that although procedures had been exhausted, nothing more could be done. I was advised to make my own enquiries and this led me to this website. I am anxious to discuss with others who have experienced a similar plight in order to find anything which could ease the pains.
