I have a conern (a big one). I have a lump on the end of my left testicle, (though it is like a small marble say 8mm). This 'little ball' is only connected by a small section of itself. Its a bit like a small space ship docking with a bigger one. It is quite hard, though not painful. I am travelling/working in Eastern Europe, and I went to a Uroligist in Vilnius (Lituania) who said after a physical check that it was a cyst "not a problem !". I asked for a US, and he said his fingers were as good as a US. I have read all the stuff on the internet - and it seems to indicate any lump on the testes is 95% cancer - so I went to see a local Oncologist (?), cancer doc, he said it was a cyst to. So what is my next step. By the way what is intetestical what is extratestical ? Thankyou (sorry about the length)
I have also read about Intra-testicular and Extra-testicular lumps. What is described above, is this intra/extra or is it impossible to make a conclusion from the above data. If it is Intra-testicular, then it would seem that the doctor who has called it a cyst, is taking a big chance.
