Question Title: Ascension and general disdomfort in right testical

Forum: The Urology Forum
Topic: Testicular Cancer

A few weeks ago I had severe pain in my lower abdominal area, it was thought to be a Appendecitis. I saw a doctor, the whitee blood count was very high. He checked me each day for 4 days, as the pain slowly went away.

I am not sure if my other symptoms came afterwards or before and there may be no connection.

I have noticed within the last few weeks that when I run, every now and then, that my right testical seemed to be a little uncomfortable. I really didn't pay to much attentioto it till last night. While in bed I checked it out, and it seemed slightly larger that the right, but it seemed the same the next morning. I looked in the mirror and noticed that it was raised up abt 1/4 to 1/2 inch. It is slightly been uncomfortale most of the day today. Not painful, but I know it is there, kinda like it wants to hurt. Does that make since?

Any suggestions?

What should I bo next?

Thanks,

Tim.

Testes cancer presents usually with a painless mass. Pain, size discrepancy, and scrotal position are not typical for testicular cancer. See your doctor for an exam and further advice regarding treatment of our symptoms.
