Growth

After a self-check after taking a shower, i noticed i had a growth in the vas deferens(sp?)..its about the size of a baked bean and it is not causing any pain/discoloration.  It just seemed a little weird that it is only on my left vas deferens and not the other. Any thoughts about it?

Hi,
It is possible that the lump you have noticed could be an epididymal cyst or a spermatocele.

However, it would be best to have the lump evaluated based on any changes it may undergo, such as change or increase i size, to rule out any malignancy.

If you have had any family history of testicular cancer, injury to the scrotum, or other such factors that predispose you to developing cancer, do make an appointment for evaluation with the health services.

DO keep us posted on your doubts and progress.

regards
