Hi ,
Found the lump last week . Unfortunately on a ship at the moment or would of been straight to docs but here for another 3 weeks,
Yes the lump is at the top of my left testicle, it's hard and the size of a small marble.
Had no surgery in the body however hurt my groin 6 months ago playing football and have been on anti inflammtories since, when I don't take tablets groin is sore but only on bed whilst sleeping,
The lump hasnt changed in the week feels directly on the testicle at the top, haven't had a chance to consult a doctor regarding the lump,
Thanks Peter

Hello XXXXXXX
Since there is no pain or fever or any history of injury,it rules out infection and inflammation due to injury.
The most likely causes in you could be
Spermatocele
Epidydmal cyst
Inguinal hernia
Varicocele
and testicular cancer in some cases.
You require a physical examination by the doctor,ultrasound of testis and may be CT or biopsy of testis.
Since almost all of such types of problem are treatable,you don't have to worry.
Just relax and enjoy your outing on ship.
Consult the doctor once you reach the shore.
Best of luck
Thanks
