Lumps/abnormalities found by doctor...

[UKmalesmallpenis (imported)]

Hello,

I haven't posted on here for a while, but thought I would mention my current situation. A few months ago I noticed a small hard 'nodule' on the bottom right of my right testicle, accompanied by tenderness and finally had an examination by my doctor. He also found a 'lump' on the left testicle, that he said might actually be connected to the epididymis but he wasn't sure (I had not noticed this, due to no pain). He is sending me for an ultrasound.

Anyone have any similar experiences or ideas what this might be?

Yeah. Most men do have some small lumps n abnormal spots on their balls from past sports hits to the nads and similar causes. Drs call them different names, but most are harmless and not cancer. Men can get these especially alonng the cords and tubes leaving the testicles. They can be cycts full of water, sperm, blood, or similar. Most don t need any surgery. Most are just simply handled with over the counter pain n swelling medicines and wearing tighter underwear or jockstraps daily until the swelling goes down and the pain goes away. Most drs don t want to do surgery on a man s scrotum or balls since cutting around there can cause a lot of other problems immediately or years later.

The testicle and scrotum ultrasound is very easy n simple. Its just you n one tech. They put a lube all over your scrotum to remove air bubbles to get a better seal on your wrinkled scrotum with a small soap bar sized electronic device that the tech gently rubs n passes over your scrotum to get sound xray images of your balls, nut cords, epididymis, and inside your scrotum.

You hold your dick up under a towel as you lay there. If you get an erection or shoot your load from being excited by it, no one knows. There s so much lube all over your scrotum n groin area that they have you wipe it all off yourself with towels after the ultrasound is done anyway. There s more lube to wipe off than most men s big ejaculation volume. Since you hold your penis out of the way n under a towel yourself the whole time, you could shoot a full load and no one but you will know or clean you up after.

The ultrasound doesn t feel like anything, no pain, no pleasure, no tingling, just nothing but a small box gliding on lube all over your scrotum. Nothing to it at all. Those techs do our balls all the time for injuries and any lumps or scrotum problems men or boys find.

Drs can do a very simple needle stick into a lump to suck out samples for a biopsy test to see what s inside a lump or cyst without cutting open your nut sack. Even opening the scrotum to do a full biopsy or to remove a small lump wouldn t be much more cutting or healing than a vasectomy would be.

Hard painless lumps right on the testicle itself are more likely to be cancer than if lumps are attached to the epididymis or nut cords n spermatic cords. Your pain and the location on your epididymis sounds more like a harmless cyst.

Good luck with it. Its simple n painless. Ask me any questions you want. I ve had these done on my injured balls a lot. My dick doesn t even get hard from these. Nothing to ultrasounds. It takes about 20 or 30 minutes to ultrasound your entire scrotum and nut cords. You can ask the tech doing your ultrasound to turn their monitor so you can see inside your scrotum as its done n turn up the sound to hear your blood circulate thru your testicles and scrotum as its done. The view is grainy grays and mostly black and white tv images of what s inside your scrotum. The tech can answer questions and zoom in on problem areas like your lump.

Good luck!!

Thanks cutnbulls, the lump on the left testicle is likely a hydrocele or something similar, as it isn't rock hard - the small hard 'nodule' is definitely on the bottom of the right hand testicle and not connected to the epididymis. I think there is a high chance that this could be cancer, but I will have to wait and see.

I'm actually fantasising (sick fantasy I know) about an attractive, female tech finding something wrong and thinking 'this guy is going to lose his nut'.

Hey, great honest comment ! We re all on here for similar gelding turn ons and fantasies lol. You re just brave enough and have balls enough to admit it !

Sounds like you already know what to look for and how you will likely be treated for each lump. Drs seem to take a when in doubt, take it out approach to any possible testicular cancer tumors. That right nut sounds like it might face castration if a biopsy can t prove that lump harmless.

Lucky thing you wouldn t mind that loss and can get off on it. Your dr will say you only need one healthy testicle and you don t need any balls if you don t want to breed and create more kids. As if many drs think that only young men deserve to enjoy sex and having testicles. And only primarily to breed kids. Men done breeding and older men face greater chances of getting their balls cut off than younger men or men still wanting to create kids.

You will likely get a female tech doing your ultrasound. Most techs are young females. Luck of the draw if she ll be good looking or not, but her being young increases your odds of her being attractive. She knows a lump directly on your testicle favors that nut getting cut off. You can ask her to turn her monitor to let you see that lump and zoom in on it. Ask her if your right ball is in trouble and needs to be cut off? She will dodge that and say your dr and the radiologist will talk to you about that later after reviewing your ultrasound. Ask her if other men with lumps like yours lost their balls?

Some men do complain of having lower testosterone, lower sex drives, less sexual abilities, and softer erections after losing one ball. You can ask for tests checking your testosterone levels with 2 balls for a personal, normal baseline level to compare with your T levels after losing one nut. But if its low T levels after losing one ball, taking artificial testosterone can turn off and atrophy your surviving testicle permanently. Artificial testosterone use is mostly switching over to all artificial T and not just adding enough T to equal the amount that used to be put out by a lost single ball. Drs say adding artificial T is not that exact enough yet to match only the lost T output of one removed ball.

You basically have to choose the testosterone one ball makes or rely totally on artificial testosterone and watch your surviving ball shrink smaller and stop working over time leaving you sterilized.

Hello,

Thanks for another excellent and helpful post cutnbulls! The tech was a young female, about 25 and very cold and 'business like', very little interaction and wouldn't answer any questions. She actually let me sit and look through the ultrasound images after the scan, but I fixated on red and blue dots, more of them cold be seen on the right testicle around the area where the hard lump is? I see my doctor tomorrow to find out the results of the test.

If I have to get the nut removed, I would not bother with artificial testosterone, even if my levels were low. I have always had erectile dysfunction and sex is pointless for me. I take it that if the lump can't be identified, an orchiectomy will be quickly scheduled?

Hey you re welcome. Not much of any other way for us men with testicle troubles to get real n honest answers to our questions and problems on all this stuff. Its not like you can just walk up and simply ask most men about your ball problems and castration questions and get anything but a scared look, a mumbled I don t know, and he takes off running and all afraid to even talk about his own usually normal and healthy balls and manhood. Sharing what we know on here by long distance is about the only way to help each other out. How else can you tell which men have testicle problems, are facing castration, lost one ball, or are eunuchs when we re face to face with clothes on lol !

I m guessing most drs would try a needle or small surgery to open the scrotum and take a small chunk of the lump or cut it all off for lab testing first and before a total nut removal. But I ve known men who went in thinking they d just be opened up for a direct look at the ball and lump and a biopsy, who woke up missing one or both balls. Some drs will want to open your scrotum, take a look at the lump and testicle, and then decide whether to remove your testicle right then, to save sewing your scrotum closed and then needing to open it again after the lab tests come back if that testicle has to come out based on lab results. If you re done making kids, you re way more likely to get that testicle removed if it looks at all like cancer. Or just bank and freeze some of your sperm now in case you lose one ball. The dr will say you still have one healthy ball left to do the work of 2 balls if he takes one out. Our spare double part if we lose one. Most men can still have sex and father kids and stay masculine on one testicle.

Hey don t give up on sex yet. My drs said men can get fake balls and artificial penis implants that stay erect and bend up and down for looking soft or hard dicked. Or you can get inflatable implants that erect with a pump hanging like a third nut in your scrotum to inflate or deflate the implant rods on demand. All these implants are surgically inserted inside your penis to look normal from the outside. But once they carve out the inside of your penis to make room for the implants, there s no going back. Only an empty hollowed out penis that will forever after need implants to ever work to erect again. They carve out your 2 erection chambers to make room for the artificial erection chambers and there s no way to give those back once they get carved out. Its a one way trip for your dick, no changing your mind once you re cored out for implants. But you can change the kind of implant and use the same cut out spaces for all kinds of artificial penis erection implants if you don t like the type you choose first.

My urologist told me if a lump or mass other than a cyst is seen on or in a testicle on an ultrasound, they do not usually do a biopsy of the lump or mass because of the risk of spreading cancer if it is present, and rather will recommend removal of the testicle with the lump or mass. That was with my case with a mass in the right testicle, and testing after removal showed precancerous cells present in the mass.

Well, the ultrasound came back with no sign of cancers or anything for that matter. The nodule/lump on the right nut has been explained as part of the tubing of the epididymis!

Whilst I am pleased not to have a cancer diagnosis, I still have a painful right nut with no cause or cure.

[cutnbulls2ox (imported)]

Congrats on no cancer bud !! That must have you dancing on clouds to hear that news ! You miss some quick fun of getting your desired one nut castration, but you sure gain immensely from avoiding all that cancer chemo and suffering cancer in your body.

Nature is gonna make you choose when to get yourself castrated instead of choosing for you with a lump. One urologist told me his practice is full of men with painful testicles of all kinds. Sounded like he didn t care at all, except for it being a big money gravy train for him and he didn t mind all those men with hurting balls paying him for nothing and for years of no pain relief.

Wearing regular jock straps with no hard nut cups every day, hot water bottles directly on your balls, and Advil seem to ease nut pain the best for me. Jock straps really help aching balls to hurt less. The jocks take all that ball weight off your nut cords. The tight jock nut pouches make your balls swing around less and hit things less all day long. Keeping your nuts shooting off and emptied out frequently every day helps a lot too.

Icing balls always makes them yank up way too tight in your sack n ache from the cold. Heating balls likely kills off of millions of sperm, but most men old enough to get serious ball troubles are usually glad to be less fertile, or sterilized, and are done having kids anyway. Sperm and having fertile balls are usually only wanted and useful for men from their early 20s to their 30s or 40s at the latest. Men younger or older than that would love to be fixed and shooting off totally spermless to enjoy maximum pleasures and pregnancy free sex fun. It makes you realize how most men don t need any balls for most of their lives, just lots of testosterone to enjoy great sex and masculinity with no sperm.

The cause of the pain is most likely a hydrocele. It may get better. Surgery usually involves losing the testicle.
