How old should I be?

I will be 15 next week, and my mother still goes with me to the Dr's. Yesterday I had a physical for baseball, and when the Dr. was feeling my balls she found a lump on my sack. She made me feel it with my fingers and then she showed my mother, and made her feel it to. She told my mother to feel it every day to see if it was getting bigger. She said it is a cist and it will just go away, but my mother should make sure and call her if it got bigger. Should my mother still be feeling my balls? I think I'm too old for my mother to feel me like that but she said she was a nurse when I was little and its ok for her to do it to make sure I'm ok. How old should I be for her to stop doing it?

Kirb, you just need to talk to your mom about this and be sure to follow up with your doctor, it sounds as if she has your best interests at heart.

Thanks! I know she gets worried because my uncle had cancer and had to have his balls taken out at the hospital. I did tell her I would check it myself and tell her if it got bigger, so she says she will only look at it every 2 or 3 days now. I get worried because when the Dr. and then my mother were touching me there I got hard, but I don't think they could tell because the paper gown hid it. When my mother checks me here, she can see everything and I could get hard again. That would not be good!

hey man, dont worry the doctor just told your mom to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesnt do anything "bad", now this must be humiliating but why dont you just tell your mom it makes you feel very uncomfortable so you yourself could maybe start checking it yourself....i know how it feels...well ive never had my mom feel my nuts periodically but im sorry best of luck friend
