testicles issues was started.
hi im 22 and a few months ago i noticed a small bb like ball inside my scrotum,,and now i have quite a few, big and small,,is this serious? i read on the net, usually people say they have only one , but mine is a lot and different sizes, do we get these removed or leave them there ? will they go away? thanks for any input
I have one of these small balls inside my scrotum, its not on my testicles and its tottally painless, infact sometimes i can't even find it. But its in the middle on my testicles. Its been on my mind for about 5 months but I'm sure its what you have... A cyst, it's about the size of a very small pea. I don't care if it stays, I just want to live the rest of my life without anything occuring.
I first found one of these hard white balls just beneathe the skin on my scrotum about 10 years ago and it grew to about 1/8" in diameter in a years time. I had no discomfort but didnt like the looks of it so went to my physician and he told me it was nothing to worry about. I think he said it was a fairly common growth so I just removed it with an exacto knife (after heating the blade on the stove and swabbing with alcohol) I still have it and can send a photo of it for curiousity sake if you are interested. I have been screened for cancer and diabetes and have no physical ailments.
it could even have been an ingrown hair. It really could be all sorts of things, but i would say the fact it is getting smaller is a good sign, but of course you can't know for sure. get it checked out just to be sure.
o okay,ya imma try to get it checked, but rite now the little hard ball got smaller, its smaller now, wats up wit that, r those signs of anything else??
if it gets larger in size, then see a doctor immediately. otherwise, it stays the same and i don't notice my lump unless my scrotum is being handled aggressively which is something i avoid! i would get checked out to make sure and for piece of mind, but your case sounds very similar to mine.
o alright, thank you very much, im less worried now, im tryin to c a doctor 4 it but i dont got insurance i barely moved states. im tryin to find out wat i got exactly.. i dont notice it either but its always been on my mind of wat it could b bcuz i aint tryin 2 lose my fellas.. i dont got any lumps or nuthin on any of my testicles so thats a good sign thats its not cancer rite.. but watever it is do u think it will go away in the future or it has 2 b removed or just somethin u gotta live wit
I also have and have had a small hard bump near my testicles for around 8-10 years. (I am 25 years old) In my case, it is what more than one doctor has said to be a benign epidytimal cyst or possible calcification. It feels uncomfortable to press, but other than that i never notice it. You should get it checked out if it bothers you, but I would not stress too much since it is more than likely a benign thing.
