Question about testicular cancer?!

Question about testicular cancer?

My husband just recently started complaining of his left testical hurting, and has noticed a little bit of swelling in it as well.. He is 28 years old and is a big guy who tends to wear boxers over briefs.. He has an appointment Monday with a urologist about the problem, but we are concerned that it may be caused by something other then him not wearing supportive underwear. He has this gut feeling that it is going to show testicular cancer. At his age could he really have this? I know we need to wait untill Monday to find out anything, but it really has me worried. Also he has noticed a lump on the side of the testical as well.. Does anyone know of anything it could be or should we expect to hear what we already think it is??

Testicular cancer is rare over the age of 35 but sounds like your husband is still in that range. It may simply be an infection, it may be testicular torsion (epidydimis gets tangled) or it could be something more severe. Best advice is to have it checked by the doctor.
