What Causes Lump On Upper Part Of Testicle?

Good day Dr. I am Calvin, 20 years old, male. for almost a year I noticed that I have a lump on the upper part of my left testicle. I can feel that the affected is in the cord of the testicle, but my right part has not. I am not experiencing any pains at all, except for a discomfort sometimes of my left abdomen but not the testicles. Admittedly, I suffered a low blow injury about 2 years ago but when I go to see a physician and had ultrasound they said that I did not get any serious testicular injuries. What do you think is this dear doctor? Will it make ma unable to produce a child in the future? will it make me infertile? Thank you.

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
If I were your treating Doctor for this case of upper pole of testis lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.     benign tumor of the epididymis or spermatic cord might be adenomatoid tumor or spermatocele like conditions
2.     The second possibility is of a chronic inflammation like tuberculosis or some type of stromal inflammation
3.     The last possibility is of some varicocele or benign mesothelial/epididymal cyst

Overall, it is benign or inflammatory and should be investigated!

I suggest you to go for some USG doppler /FNAC test along with microscopic/microbiological tests for confirmation and definitive treatment.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
