What Is The Growing Lump On Left Testicle?

Hello my name is Jordan and I am 16 years old. I weigh 120 pounds and im about 5'9. When I was about 7 I noticed I had a lump on my left testicle. I dont know how long it would have been there but it never hurt and it is a purple/ black color. It has grown but only with me. Kinda like its a body part. It grows like any other part of your body. It doesn't hurt but I have felt a sharp pain in the testicle before but only once or twice. I really dont want to seek medical attention for this in fear of losing it. I have told myself that id rather just let it be and live my life. I dont want my life to me scared by cancer or whatever it may be. Also the same testicle did drop late. I was born with it undroped.

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

"Undroped" testicle(even if it is now in the scrotum) is what makes you prone to testicle cancer. That is why you should not ignore mentioned symptom. It can not be left alone. This is not a solution and it wont let you to have peace of mind.
That is why It is extremely advisable for you to consult urologist and have testicle ultrasound to rule the cancer out.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
