What Is The Hard Lump On My Testicle With Abdominal Pain?

I have a hard lump on my right testical. Hard as a rock, it also has a kind of softer mass around it. Not sure how best to explain the mass. But the lump is absolutely attached to my testical, feels like its part of it. Also, I have started having bad pain in my lower abdomen, left side. If I press on it, it is almost unbearable. Also have developed a cough and have breathing issues at times. Not sure it is at all related, but it has also come on recently, so I wonder if it could be. Thank you for any help.

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

If this lump is quite large most likely you have inguinal hernia which has reached the scrotum. What you feel are intestines with fatty tissue most likely. Abdominal pain which is intense when palpating the abdomen indicates that you may have obstruction due to hernia stuck. It is more possible if you have also gas and stool blockage, nausea, vomiting.
Other possible reason is testis cancer. Every lump in the scrotum should be verified if its not a cancer.

I suggest you to do not wait any longer. Please visit your doctor, have physical examination, testis ultrasound and abdominal ultrasound.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
