Can BPH(Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) Cause Lump In The Testicles?

I am 68 years old and have a lump in my right testicle and it got smaller in time and somewhat hard to the touch.
I think it started due to my BPH . I work out with weights and may caused the urine to flow into
tube going to the testicle. Is there a medication I can take. I have tried cyprl and it didn't work.

thanks

Hello
Thanks for query .Based on the facts that you have described the lump in Tr testicle can not be due to reverse flow of urine in Vas difference due to BPH but could be either of the two
1) Benign Cyst of the epididymis (Spermatocele )
2) Infection of the epididymis (Epididymitis)

It needs to be confirmed by a clinical examination in person by a qualified Urologist and doing following basic tests
1) Urine routine and culture
2) Ultrasound scanning of scrotum

If turns out to be a Epididymal cyst ,no treatment is required as it is benign in nature .

If turns out to be Epididymitis you will need to take appropriate antibiotic as per culture report along with ant inflammatory medication for 2 weeks.
