Is It Normal To Notice A Lump On The Right Testicle ?

Hi, Doctor, I am a 75-y.o. male in generally good health (in spite of a 60-year cigarette habit). Had a vasectomy 40 years ago. A couple of days ago, I noticed a significant (marble-sized) lump on my right testicle. I am awaiting an exam by my VA provider and expect to get any Dx/Tx needed there. Mentioned it to my son, who is 40, and he said he has several such lumps in his scrotum and was told by a urologist that it s a perfectly normal condition. Sounds a bit bizarre. Can you clarify? [NOTE: I m a retired trial lawyer who spentg 35 years defending docs in a courtroom and digging deep into relevant medical issues. I m probably ahead of the curve for a layman.] Andy

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Sir, I can understand your concern, if the swelling of lymph node is not painful or does not have any clinical sign and symptoms then it could be a simple lymph node and it may remain there without hurting you, and if it is painful or very much tender then it has to be investigated, take care and have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
