Has anyone here had a ultrasound of the scrotum done? I just had mine done and not sure if things were in the right place (if you know what I mean). It was a bit cool in the room and the gel was cold as well. Not sure if the tech was able to 'see' the part of my testicle that was in question. I tried to move it and was told to point with one finger only, not to move anything around down there during the exam.
Just wondering if anyone else had a similar experience.... Thanks
I'm glad your getting this checked.... I have to be honest here If you keep getting this kind of reaction I suggest finding a new doctor preferably a urologist. In fact make sure a urologist is the one to read your ultrasound and request blood tests also. Some doctors simply dont see many (if any) cases of tc and unfortunately the patient doesn't receive the right treatment. What you have could be completely benign but if it turned out to be tc treating it early can make all the difference in the world.
I can recommend a website that will give you more information than I ever could, its tccancer.com. The homepage has info on self exams that may help you with questions regarding the lump you found. If you check out the forums you'll see first hand just how serious all doctors should take any kind of lumps found on the testicles. May not be anything to worry about but once again I'm really glad your going to make sure.
I did go to the walk in clinic due to my doctor not able to see me until early June, unless a cancellation comes in before then. Anyway, the walk-in doc could have been less interested in my concern. The doc took a quick look (as if she had xray vision :-) attempted to feel for the lump in question and then said an ultrasound will need to be done. I have one scheduled for early June, funny how that early June is the first available appointment.
Thanks for your comment(s). I do hope it is nothing, that would put my mind at ease!
