I was just wondering if any of you know approximate time that is needed for testicular cancer to grow to a noticeable size (entire testicle enlargement).
i have a lump on epididymis tail don't know if its cancerous, my family doctor said it isnt, it also causes discomfort and slight pain when touched
I am 15 years old and ever since I was 14 I have noticed that a large testicular lump (about twice the size of my normal testicles) would come in my scrotum and go; meaning sometimes it would come and other times it wasn't there and it would look like I have a normal scrotum with two testicles. I've always wondered what it was but I was to afraid to ask my parents to take me to the doctor so I just left it alone. But now that I know it can be testicular cancer I'm really scared. When I touch it, it doesn't hurt at all, I can even squeeze it without it hurting too much. Could it be because of masturbating? I masturbate 1-2 times a day. I've looked at the symptoms of testicular cancer and one of them was having a testicular lump, but I don't have any other of the symptoms. So my question is, why do I have this and is it harmful?
View 3 RepliesI found a tiny floating lump about the size of a sesame seed between my epidermis and not attached to my left testicle. It doesn't hurt when press or anything or appear to grow, I have kept an eyes on it for several months. Do I need an ultrasound?
View 1 RepliesI've had a dull ache in my left testicle for 2 weeks. I seem to feel it more when I sit or lie down.
I've spoken to my GP who checked and confirmed both testicles seemed healthy. However there was a tenderness when he held the epididymis.
He took urine samples to check for any infection which all came back clear. I am now waiting for an ultrasound.
I'm 26 years old and I've had a dull ache in my left testicle for the past 3-4 months.
I've been to see my GP numerous times, and finally got referred to a urologist yesterday. I was there for a about 5 minutes, he had a quick feel and said nothing was wrong and didn't give me much assurance or guidance as to what I can do to help myself.
I've had a very small cyst on my left testicle since late 2008, and have been told that I have nothing to worry with that.
When I exercise I tend to aggravate the ache more so I haven't properly exercised in months which is very annoying for me.
I tend to notice the ache a lot more when I'm lying down, but it does go away after a while.
i have discharge every day and it comes with a noticeable odor.when i take a shower im good for a few hrs then i start to notice a smell. i haven't had sex in months so i couldn't b related to that but when i do i am always protected
View 1 RepliesI don't know when I'm hungry and when I'm full. It feels the same to me. I can feel my stomach rumbling when I'm hungry, but when I eat it doesn't leave even when I've eating enough. I can feel my stomach is full but I'm still hungry. This causes me to eat a lot of food. I ate 2,000 calories for breakfast yesterday and I still felt hungry. I don't know how else to explain this. Does anyone else feel this way?

View 1 RepliesWhy is it that I can have such a hard time starting a stream when visiting the toilet during the night (after having been asleep for several hours) and have little problem during the daytime when awake and alert? As I see it this has less to do with BPH than with mind/body connections.

View 1 RepliesI struggle with pain in my left testicle on a regular basis, lately it seems to be getting worse after ejaculation. Another problem is that it seems to draw way up inside to the point that I have to push it back into my scrotum. Does this just happen to me because the urologist don't seem to have an answer!
View 9 RepliesI am 19 and about a year ago I started experiencing some aching in my testicles so I had an ultrasound scan, everything was good. Now, I have noticed in the bath on my right testicle a lump, but I only notice it in hot water, what could this be? I am worried it is a sign of cancer. I have a doctor's appointment booked for a week's time.
Does anyone know how long an ultrasound scan is valid for too?
My testicles have been hurting off and on for around 6 months. I got a ultrasound on them 3 months ago and they said all i had was fluid build up and a spermatic cyst. They gave me nothing for it. Could i have developed cancer within that 3 months or would they have seen it on the ultrasound? The pain in my testicles rotate and are off and on. I get stomach cramps frequently and now im worried im not breathing properly. I have been checked for stds and tested negative for chlamydia and gono and others. However when i aroused a lot of precum comes out ( at least that's what i think the fluid is) Also after i pee i have a little fluid come out. What could be wrong?

View 1 RepliesMy problems began nearly 9 yrs ago. I had lower abdominal pain, pain on ejaculation, testicular pain, pain and burning when urinating and pain in the tip of my penis. The symptoms worsened over time. There is no respite and even certain types of underwear are difficult to wear causing aggravation. I have had varying opinions from Doctors and Consultants causing me more frustration. Suggested treatments have included drug prescriptions and even anti-depressants (which I have avoided). I have been treated at a local Pain Management Unit and undergone various tests, including injections and a scan. I was recently informed that although procedures had been exhausted, nothing more could be done. I was advised to make my own enquiries and this led me to this website. I am anxious to discuss with others who have experienced a similar plight in order to find anything which could ease the pains.
View 29 Replies22y/o male, suffering constant pain of meatus and testicles.
Pain includes:
-Constant stinging meatus
-Burning only at the tip of meatus while urinating
-Testicular soreness
-Red "u"-shape under meatus lips
-Extreme tenderness underneath penis when touched
-Extreme burning at tip of penis during/after masturbation
I have been suffering with this problem for one month now, after initially experiencing chafing at the tip of my penis while running. One week after the chaffing began, the meatus began swelling, and other symptoms have appeared since then. I have had not been sexually active for over 3 years. One of my co-workers (which I share a computer with) contracted a chlamydia/gonorrhea type STI/STD. I have been cleared via 7 urine tests and 4 blood labs of any STD/STI/UTI/kidney sediment, etc. I have been gone through 2 antibiotics (doxycycline/metronidazole) w/ no relief. I have read extensively on these forums of this similar issue and am curious if anyone has found any luck or results that could help me narrow this down. I appreciate your time and hope you all find relief for any symptoms you may have.
I am a 17 year old and 5 months ago I noticed a lump above my left testicle it doesn't hurt and is soft and can be moved around I was worried about it then forgot about it up until now. I've been having back pain for the last 5 days and I'm wondering if its TC.
View 9 RepliesI'm 30 years old. I had a vasectomy done 1 year ago. Since I had the vasectomy operation I'm having an significant chronic pain on a daily basis. Testicular ache and a sharp burning pain radiating up to my abdomen. it's a very unpleasant feeling constantly. I'm so afraid that I have to live with this pain for the rest of my life. I take painkillers every day, which I don't like. Other then that I do not have any underlying diseases or medical histories.
I wish to get a vasectomy reversal with the goal of relieving my “post vasectomy pain” so I can live a normal life again. (I don't care if I become fertile again or not, I just want to get rid of the pain).
I heard that a vasectomy reversal relieves the build-up of back pressure that may cause pain in the testicles.
But for other patients, the pain is not due to back pressure, but rather to chronic inflammation at the vasectomy site. If the urologist cut out the inflammation site and reverse the vasectomy, the pain will usually be eliminated.
The pain may result from microscopic amounts of sperm leaking out of the vas deferens into the surrounding tissue. This leakage can cause inflammation.
What if I have an inflammation ?.
Will the urologist be aware of this and remove the inflammation before he performs the vasectomy reversal operation ?
I've been through chronic testicular pain, basically it's the tube from the testicle to the the base of the penis. Dull pain (best descriped as a constant pressure).
Ultrasound, prostrate and GUM clinic cleared. Had anti-biotics which seems to have cleared the tube (constant pressure issue), but the base of the penis and the testicle is still sore after several weeks.
Got a doctors appointment soon but unsure how to explain as it comes and goes. Pain tends to be when I'm stationary, driving is the worst.
Does any-one know of any-issues with the base of the penis?
