Have a pea-sized lump on my left testicle and I’m terrified

(no message)

So testicular lumps are really common right?

Dunno, but I have one too. Went and had it examined. Can't remember what the Urologist called it. Anyway, it's just there and doesn't hurt or anything. Dude told me if it got any bigger to go see him again. So..... it could be nothing?

It’s probably nothing, but my hypochondriac arse thinks the worst case scenario and that it’s a malignant tumor. I don’t know why but I’ve had this mentality for a long time

Nope. Still have full use of the family jewels

How long have you had the lump?

At the least maybe you'll get your nuts fondled by a hot nurse

I don’t remember what side of the testicle it was on, but it was my right. I had it nine years ago. I found it extremely quickly. My cousin had stage three, and my wife’s cousin died of it, because he ignored the symptoms.

I had carcinoma. My urologist, said that in 30 years of practice, he had never had stage 1 carcinoma. If I had not found it, or ignored it, I would more than likely be toast.


No matter, what the GP says, demand to get an ultrasound and see urologist as fast as possible. GOs are great, but they most certainly don’t specialize in cancer much less testicular cancer.

Honestly, I’d rather the GP just order the ultrasound at a medical imaging clinic instead of having to drive 30 minutes to see a urologist. A lot of imaging clinics have their own radiologists who diagnose as soon as the results are given to them, and then report the results back to your GP

I sure hope my GP will consider an ultrasound. If he doesn’t I’m gonna have to find a different doctor
