Lump near puppy's privates

Hi all! Brand new Frenchie mom and my brindle babe is just 11 weeks old. I noticed this raised couple of bumps near his privates this morning. They almost feel like cysts. Soft and moveable. He's not at all bothered by them. Zero change in appetite or energy. Does ANYONE have any advice or experience with something like this? Please help! I'm spazzing out and my boyfriend (puppy's dad) keeps saying to wait it out.

He's only 11 weeks old, it could be his testicles, they may not have descended into the scrotum yet.  In some puppies they actually go up and down for a while before they decide to stay in the scrotum.  Next time he goes for shots have the vet take a look.  If they're testicles they'll be about the size of medium grapes.

Are these at the base area of his penis/sheath?  You might be seeing the bulbous glands that can enlarge when the make gets excited, needs to pee, etc.  do a Google search for photos of bulbous gland in make dogs and see if that is what you may be seeing.  If so, very normal.
