Question: Hi there , I have a lump in my scrotum that swells when I am erect ?
Basically at the base of my penis inside my scrotum I have a pea size lump and when I am erect during sex it swells to double in size it's not painful , it's very soft . My doctor says it could be a vessel filling up with blood but couldn't really tell me more , he examined my testicles and said I should go for a ultra sound as he said he might have felt a small lump on my testicle I'm sure ther is not a lump there as I check them often when I shower and it's easier to feel in warm water , but the lump that swells ? Should I be alarmed ? Is it common ? I'm 27 years old very healthy living etc
Answers:
Definitely have the ultrasound, because there's no way of knowing for sure without checking. It does sound like it could be a blood vessel (a varicocele), or it may be something else entirely.
