sounds like this is a problem you should bring to your doctor right away. I don't think people can diagnose testicular cancer over the internet ;0

Get em checked out, better safe than sorry, and the sooner the better.

Dude, when it comes to those two, why would you even consider waiting on getting it looked at????

I'll tell you..... Testicular cancer would give you a slightly large (1) testicle. It would eventually over a period of about 1-2 months get to be the size of a tennis ball.
You would be in discomfort from the thing hanging and would resort to support. The skin will look normal.
Go see a dr in an emergency room immediately or contact your family dr. If you don't take care of it NOW and it is positive it will spread to other organs.
And Like others said...this cannot be diagnosed over the internet, but I can tell you that I'm a survivor.

Are your testicles supposed to be the same size of each other? One of mine is slightly larger than the other.

Testicular cancer doesn't look like anything at first. Try to give yourself a testicular exam. the way you can tell if you should be seen is if you feel a very hard bump, it will feel like a marble when you push it. It will not be the whlo testicle either it will be just a part of it.

ONE_MAN_BANDIUM...Its called your vas deferans...feels squishy then narrows off into a big tube(not a vein but feels like one). Hardly ever is it the same size on voth sides. For some men, they can't feel it on one but feel it on the other.(I was pre-med in college so I'm not bullshitting you) Nothing to worry about, but if you didn't have this, I would be worried. Keep on strokin'!!

hi guys i'm 16 and ive found a lump on my testicle its small and is a blue colour and i'm too scared to go to the doctors to get it checked out and too embarresed to ask my mum to book me a appointment for it. Also my GCSE's are coming up and i'm well stressed out to even think that i would have to have a operation before my exams, can anyone who has had testicular cancer tell me if its cancer or not, it doesnt hurt but there is a slight ache in it. HELP!!!!!!

This board isn't really a substitute for the doctor. I strongly suggest you get it looked at by a dr,(give it some long thought) and re-read the above posts!!! You can live without a testicle, but it's harder to live without a urinary trac! GET CHECKED!

joz-Could be a cyst...I had this type of surgery a few months ago...I found a lump (it was on the outside though not attatched to anything) It turned out to be a cyst! Dont be scared trust me I was scared shitless but when I did it I was like pssshh! This is life! It makes you stronger over coming something like this it has me anyways! Remember longer you wait the worse it gets!

Just tell your mom or dad you dont feel good and want to go to the doctor then they call the doctor you go in and be like everything I tell you is confidential right? He will be like yes just between me and you! So then be like I found a lump I think! and he will be like ok where? You tell him he will look at it and diagnose it usually right their! I went in and had it checked and removed the same day!-GO FOR IT TIGER!

if it is testicular cancer how much is it to have a fake testicle put in and does it effect your sperm? and if it is a cyst do you still have to have your testicle removed? plus when you have it romoved do they put you under anisthetic or do they put you to sleep and does it hurt or leave a big scar? I'm not too sure myself if it is teticular cancer because i found the lump about 3 weeks ago and it hasnt got any bigger, how long did it take your lump to increase in size carivan?

rule of thumb......somthing gets bigger( abnormanlly) changes color or somthing constantly hurting(internal)
GO SEE A DOCTOR! Nothings embarrassing i had a cyst removed off my butt, doctors see this stuff all the time, actually theres nothing they Haven't seen lol......but all joking aside if somthings not right go to a doctor! I'll die over manything, but embarrasment won't be one of them.

You are only scaring yourself more by guessing than by just going to the doc and finding out. All those what ifs may be unnecessary. And no one is better qualified to answer all of your questions than a doc.....now get going and let us know what he says. Good luck.

jdelts:

Are you suggesting that everyone has this? I'm very curious...I have this "tube" situation going on that you are talking about. I've had it since a teen and was told by Dr. that it is OK...just a "cosmetic" issue. It has grown over the years to become a sort of ball of veins...can it be removed!? Why does this happen and is there ANY harm at all!?

uconn, nobody can tell on a website, but what you're describing sounds normal . Try not to worry. They get sore now and then and the spot sounds normal. Ask your parents about this.

About a month ago I found a lump on my testicle...went to the Dr and the Dr confirmed it and sent me for a sonogram and it was nothing other then scar tissue from my vasectomy. Go to the Dr there are ways for them to tell after the correct procedure is preformed. Age ranges for testicular cancer is 18-35 and is the number #1 cancer killer of men under 40 because it's rarely caught in time. It's important to do a self exam periodically and if anything is suspecious or abnormal then just get in to see the Dr.

For those who talked about having big veins on one testicle or jsut having a group of veins , it is called varicoceles and its not something that you would have to worry about immediatly however it does cause exesive heat in the area because they r clogged veins, this might create a sperm problem but once the veins are removed itll b fine, unless ure looking to procreate any time soon then the veins are no risk hwoever u should go to a doctor to make sure it is varicoceles. I have varicoceles but the doctor said the surgery could wait till whenever i felt comftrable.

Ok! From first hand experience. I first noticed something was wrong when there was a lump about 1/2 the size of a marble. I had the choice of leaving it, or as I was strongly advised to have the cancer cut out. Hence, I did. I only had 3 stages of chemo. And just for those who are interseted, I did'nt loose any hair, and very rearly felt ill. And, yes, 'he' does still perform. Just as good as 'he' did before! lol If anyone has any more questions. Please don't hesitate to contact me! Robertt.

Hey guys i may be a little too late but i can offer a bit of advice as this is the Speciality in which i am studying at the moment.
There are many symptoms to testicular cancer these include a lump in one testicle, pain or acheing in one or both testicles blood in seman and sometimes even discharge and or puss. Some of these symptoms can also be symptoms of a STI /STD So it will be better for you to go get checked out anyway visit your nearest GUM clinic its confidential no one needs to know and you will get good treatment.
With regards to a comment earlyer there can sometimes be lumps in the scrotum that is there one minute and then gone the next these lumps are usually floating veins, gristle, and sometime even cystic masses containing dead sperm. These are usually nothing to worry about but still get them checked out by you GP or as said before local GUM Clinic. Hope this help

Regards Damo

Ok so I have a group of small lumps no bigger than a BB on my right testi. No pain at all, or swelling. I have had an ultrasound about a year ago, and they didnt seem to have any concern; they said it was scar tissue.(explain)~When I was about 9 years old I my right testi was undecended ,so right there it put me in a higher risk of testicular cancer. And im in
the age group that has the highest risk. Anyways when I had the ultra sound it definatley eased my own concern alot but what if they overlooked it? Should I get a second look? Jul 13, 2011 - 01:48:25 options: No Profile - send Instant Message -
