A small mass near the testicular tube
hi doctor,
recently i feel little pain on left testicle when given pressure on the upper part of it. so last day i checked my testicle and found a tiny(very very small to be acurate) mass in my testicle near the testicular tube(or on it, but it is on the upper part of testicle). when pressure is applien on that tube my lower abdomain also hurts. Is it testicular cancer? if yes which stage it might be?

Hi!
In all probability you have a spermatocele, which is a retention cyst at the head of the epididymis. Usually spermatoceles require no treatment. If you have pain and discomfort, you can take over-the-counter pain medications, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Surgery to remove cyst and sclerotherapy are other treatment options. Please discuss with your doctor. Take care!

The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
