scrotal discomfort
For a couple of weeks now i have been having scrotal discomfort on the left side can't really call it pain. There is no pain besides the usual discomfort u have when you palpaate a lil too hard. i normally check my testicles monthly, i haven't notice any difference in size, shape or feel of my testicles especially on the left side. There is no swelling redness pain etc. For years however i always felt this small lump close to my epididymis not painful and free moving. The discomfort is off an on however, sometimes when i am busy and my mind is somewhere else i dont feel the discomfort but like how am talking about it now its there. Do you have any idea what this can be am getting lil worried now.
well i am a nurse also palpated my spermatic cord an everything checks out, no feeling of bag of worms on palpation or a penile discharge. one sexual partner an we use condoms.
A urologist would treat you for this. It is likely epididymitis, which just means inflammation of the epididymis. Men also get hydroceles, spermatoceles, and varicoceles, and these four conditions are the most common problems men get in their scrotums ( I worked for a urologist for 7 years). Occasionally men also get sebaceous cysts, but they are close to the skin. None of these are cancer, which should ease your mind.
