Well it could be a number of things could it be cancer.? yes dought it though. It could be epididymitis which is nothing to worry about. The number of people that die from testicular cancer each year is unbelevably slim. In fact Id put money on it that it is by far the most treatable and easy to get rid of. But dont worry about it man. But dont wait around bro Tell your parents about it and get to your doctors office!


hope everything goes well for ya man!Health Question & Answer

sometimes a little information can be very dangerous, i remember reading a medical book when i was younger and was convinced i had berri berri and black swamp fever, i swear i had all the symptons. you need to calm down and check the internet properly and speak to mum and dad, they will give you advice, also at 15 you are old enough to see the doctor on your own if you really are bothered,Health Question & Answer

firstly you need to calm down, then do the sensible thing and book an appointment with your doctor. Tell your parents, who should be able to help you through this. No one on here can tell you that's it is or isn't cancer, that's for the Specialist to ascertain, so see someone asapHealth Question & Answer

A lot of us have lumps and bumps in that area, my friend. In fact I have, it's just an oddly-shaped vein. Just go and see your doctor. Probably nothing at all, but you've done the right thing in checking. We're all supposed to do that, just like the girls are supposed to check their boobs.Health Question & Answer

I suggest that you go see your GP, I had a similar problem about 3 years ago and it took me about 3 months of being S*** scared till i went to see my doctor. I had a Ultrasound scan etc.. and it turns out it was just a cyst which is harmless. But you should still go see your doctor!

Good luckHealth Question & Answer

Instead of wasting ur time posting questions on yahoo & answers go see a doctor, somebody expert rather than a public doctor ....

but dont freak out, if u set ur brain to it, u will get it (not particualry the cancer, anything. this is an example given)

Please try not to worry Jak. It in very very rare for someone your age to have testicular cancer. It is much more likely to be a small cyst, which is nothing to worry about, but does need treatment. Please go and see your GP.Health Question & Answer

you need to go to a doctor fool. dont ask people on yahoo what to doHealth Question & Answer

The only way to really settle your mind is to pop along to the doctor to be examined. They see things like this all the time so try not be be embarrassed about it!

The best to time to examine yourself is after a shower or bath when the skin is soft and slacker, so do that too. It could well be a vein that you are feeling.

One thing to maybe make you smile - there's a comedian, Russell Howard, he said that 3 times he went to the Doc thinking he'd found a lump, but on each occassion it was an ingrowing hair. Health Question & Answer

After watching programmes like this, or reading about this type of cancer, many people tend to jump to conclusions, and automatically diagnose themselves with something they don't have. I highly doubt you have it sweetie, but to clear your mind, it would be best to visit your GP. Don't go in there saying you think you have cancer, just say you found a small lump and would like them to check it out to see if it is worth doing anything about. It may be embarrassing, but it's really worth getting it looked at, even if it is nothing serious. At least it will clear your mind :)Health Question & Answer
