MedHelp Member's Question

calcium buildup or tumor?

I have a small lump on the side of my scrotum that is about the size of a pea. It's near the base of the penis. I was wondering if its serious or not.

If you find a lump on your testicle, see a doctor, preferably a urologist, right away. The abnormality may not be cancer, it may just be an infection. But if it is testicular cancer, it will spread if it is not stopped by treatment. Waiting and hoping will not fix anything. Please note that free floating lumps in the scrotum that are not attached in any way to a testicle are not testicular cancer. When in doubt, get it checked out - if only for peace of mind!
