concern

by spyder228, Jul 07, 2008 03:04AM
Dear Doctor,
           i'm not sure if i should be concern.  i've read up on testicular cancer, and most everthing i've read states something about a lump being on the testical.  what i'm encountering is a small mass or lump in the sac.  this is not attached to the testical and is only in the right testical side.  it's not painful and i rarely know it's there.  should i be concern?
thanks

Hi

I understand your concern and that you are deeply anxious about this. The presence of a lump  in the scrotum needs further assessment. These may be normal structures that could have been palpated as lumps in the area. A scrotal ultrasound is the best way to ascertain what could be causing this. A cyst may readily be identified in a scrotal ultrasound.

In the absence of redness, pain and problems with sexual function, this should not be something to worry about. However, I would still advise that you have this assessed early on.
