Question:
How are the lumps suppose to look like for testicular cancer?
Hey. Thx you so much for taking some time away from your day. I need help. After 4th of July this year i noticed that my left testicle has been swollen... My left kidney(i think) has been hurting me too. And I've been looking at my left nut. It has grown bigger than the other and more lower you know? It doesnt hurt as much as the other days. Only when i give some effert to move it. Ive read that there must be a lump... I dont think there is a lump... But idk. How do these lumps look like?? Are there any pics?? Or anything? Plz i just need to know what i might be having.
Thx you!

Answers:
It sounds more like a varicocele, in which the valves that regulate bloodflow from the testicle become defective and blood does not circulate out of the testicles efficiently, causing swelling in the veins above and behind the testicles.
A varicocele can develop in one testicle or both, but in about 85% of cases it develops in the left testicle.
The best thing to do is to consult your doctor or a urologist. A varicocele is not a terribly serious problem and is fairly easily repaired.
