What Causes Bump On Testicle?
I am a 15 yr old boy and have a small bump on my testicle and went to a doctor and he sent me to an ultra sound, so i did today, but the results will not be back until a week and i wanna know what it might be. He also said he has never felt anything like it before and he is a urologist for a while now. Is this a good or bad thing?

Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!
For masses inside the scrotum it is important to get a scrotal ultrasound to check if the mass is inside the testicle or outside the testis. There are numerous structures in the periphery of the testis like the epididymis etc that can have cysts. Cysts structures are benign and not a cause for worry while intra testicular masses are almost always malignant and needs Surgical removal.
I would wait for the ultrasound to see what you have.
I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes.
