[mike85r]

hi im mike im 23 years old and i have a lump on the top right of my left testical (inside the sack) when i touch it i can feel the touch and when i push the testical outward i can see it through the skin it causes no pain nor discomfort (only i keep thinking wtf is this lol!) i dont have any health benifets or money to see a doctor due to lay off at work and the economy ***** right now and a job is a rare thing to find now. can anybody tell me what are some things to watch for? my testical is not hard or heavy feeling or bigger in size and is normal except for the bump i am sexually active with one partner (both are faithfull) we have both been tested and are both negative for anything out there. please any knowlage on this would help alot

Hi Mike,

This is not something you can diagnose yourself, so please see a doctor.  It's most likely just a cyst, but it could be testicular cancer.  Testicular cancer is most common in men ages 15 - 35, so you are definitely in that range.  I was diagnosed with testicular cancer 8 years ago (it's one of the most curable cancers out there) and I wish I had not waited to see a doctor because by the time I did, it had spread to my lymph nodes and to my lungs, which meant I had to have chemotherapy.  Had I gone to a doctor before it had spread I likely would not have had to have chemo.  The chemo was very intense, plus it cost over $100,000.  I did not have insurance when I was diagnosed but was able to get insurance to pay for part of it.  Don't wait.  See a doctor.

Is i.st the Vas deferens / spermatic cord?? take a gander at a physiology chart ( a male chart would be best - for obvious reasons) - look at the structure of your gonads - I *think* what you have found i]may be a very normal part of your teste
