I've found a lump on my testicle, what should i do?!


Question: if the lump is near the top of the teticle its likely to be the epidymus, the cluster of blood vessels feeding your testicle. this can soetimes become enflamed but usually calms within a few days.
however if the lump is located on the body of the testicle and feels rather solid then i suggest a visit to your GP. that way we can rule out anything nasty sooner rather than later.
iv been in this situation, with a painful lump on one of my testicles, it was the epididymus.
apparently cancer doesnt hurt either. so depending on your situation, its always worth getting these things checked if unsure.

if i had a lump on my testicles i would seek medical attention.what are you waiting for your nuts to fall off.

Many times lumps are nothing to worry about. Just take it easy and call the doctor. The important thing here is you found the lump. Take it easy.

Go to the doctors to get it checked out cause it could be cancer or something seripus like that.

If it is on the rear of the testicle, you may be feeling the epidymis. Otherwise you should see a urologist as soon as possible.

This could be something or nothing, the thing most people do not realise is that its the painless bumps and lumps that are the most serious as (sorry to mention the word in ur answer) cancer in itself is a painless bit of deasesed muscle, its what its attached to that hurts. If you can get your girlfriend/boyfriend/yourself and a mirror to check the lump feel how big it is, is it painfull when you pull (gently) on your pubic hair where the lump is does it hurt as if so it may be Folicolitus, this is where the hair folicle becomes inflamed and fills with puss producing a lump. The faster you get your appointment with the doc the better and do not be embarrased, they will have seen this hundreds of times before. I wish you the best of luck.

The vast majority are going to be nothing serious, BUT you must go to your GP and get it checked.

Go to the doctors tomorrow, as scared and nervous as you may be, itll be a whole lot scarier if you dont get it treated! Good luck xxxx

Go to the doctors and ask him or her about it.

It could be serious , or indeed it could be just a benign cyst
You need to get it checked asap with GP .
