Suggest Treatment For Lump On Testicle
Hi, have found a lump on one of my testicles and have Bren to two different docters. One said it needed to be looked at and due to changing area when my appointment came through I had to go to a 2nd docter who didn't seem bothered, but said as the other had referred me to urology then he would,
My appointment is anouther 3 weeks away. ( having already waited 3 due to a high level of patients) the lump has grown and I am tired alot and now have a skin rash (scaly and red) on myupper body, Is this something to worry about, it doesn't itch. Thanks

Hi! welcome and thanks for sharing your health concerns/queries with us.
After going through your problem I must say that there are many possibilities in your case according to age, sign/symptoms and related medical/surgical history as follows:
1. hydrocele 30%
2. benign cysts like spermatocele, epididymal cysts, parasitic cysts 30%
3. infections like tuberculosis or abscess 10%
4. tumor-like benign conditions 20%
5. cancer 10%
Therefore, you need to confirm the cause without delay and please see a general surgeon for a simple needle biopsy and ultrasound and I think only antibioticas with or without surgery would be the best possible or appropriate treatment!
regards,
