Is The Pea Size Lump In My Testis Related To Cancer?

I m sixteen years old and I m worried I have testicular cancer. I found something pea shaped to the side of my right testie. It seems to be attached my something. But not directly, they are close though. It doesn t hurt when squeezed, and I didn t know if something was inside of me at first so I shun a light underneath my scrotum onto it and light passed through. I read somewhere that it could just be a swelling of sperm or water. I m just worried though. I masterbate on average, daily if that has anything to do with it. Please get back to me as soon as you can. This is causing me a lot of stress.

Hello

Pea size lump may be due to many causes like spermatocele(cystic structure),epididymal swelling etc.
This need proper clinical evaluation and investigations.
Ultrasound of scrotum is most important.
Ultrasound can differentiate between mass,cyst etc.
I don't think it is serious issue.
You should go for investigations.Treatment depend upon findings.

Get well soon.
Take Care
