Hello,I have a question in regards to a lump I found on the left side of the testicle. I have a hard lump on the side of my testicle. The lump is not beneath the skin I can actually see it and feel it. The lump does not hurt but I do have a consistent discomfort/ache in my left testicle. Also I notice that my testicles hardly hang anymore in the sac. Also recently over the last week or so I notice a constant ache in my lower back and groin area. I have research testicular cancer lumps but I get a lot of different information. I am currently away from home and will not be able to see my doctor until next month. What could this be?
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. Testicular lump what you feel could be the collection in the sac, Cysts and mass.2. The inguinal hernia also seems like a mass, it does not give pain until it is strangulated. 3. All these questions can be solved by getting an ultrasound scan done - gives complete information and non-invasive and cheap investigation.(even if its just skin thickness also evaluated.4.Don't be afraid as it is not painful you can book an appointment with your doctor and get the scan done as soon as you can.5. Hope it helps. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
