Suggest Remedy For Lump In Testicles

I found a lump some time about March 2008 it got swollon. I went to see a doctor soon after and he thought it was just an infection, so he gave me antibiotics. The lump remained and it got bigger. In the last few weeks I saw a doctor again and I arranged to have an ultrasound scan. Then today I went to see a specialist. He examined me but he wasn't experienced enough to know what was wrong. He called in his boss, who also examined me, and then I was told that I would have to have my left testicle removed. I've never had to have surgery before. I don't know what it's like.I've been so stressed out.

Welcome to Health care magic.

1.The history suggest that there was a growth with in the testicle, slow growing over few years of time.
2.With this we can think in terms of benign aetiology - however biopsy will be confirmatory.
3.You have not mentioned ultrasound done or not - if not chances of changes in plans might be there. As ultrasound will give the exact nature of the lump and where it is arising from and where all its extending to. A guided FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology will help find out cell of origin in case of mass.
4.Sorry you never had surgery - but it might be needed if its proven as mass lesion.
5.Relax, get it done and good followup scans after the procedure. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
