What Causes A Lump On The Testicle?

I am a 15 year old boy, and just over a year ago I noticed a medium sized lump on the front of my left testicle, and didn’t take any notice of it. I am aware and concerned now that it could be testicular cancer, and I have an appointment to see my GP tomorrow. I know that testicular cancer has a very high survival rate; however, I am concerned that if it is cancer, then I have left it too late, and it will be much more severe? If it is cancer, have I left it too late?

Hello,

Need to rule out the simple cause. It can be due to infection or inflammation in the scrotum. We can not think of cancer at early age. Still doing a simple ultrasound will help you diagnose.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
