About 6 Weeks Ago I Thought I Had Torsion Are These Symptoms Of Epididymitis, Hydrocele Or A Hernia?
Question: About 6 weeks ago I thought I had torsion. the pain lasted about 4 days and then subsided. it was dull ache in my lower stomach and at my testicles then it disappeared and I went on with my life but I feel a dull ache again and I felt around last night and it feels like I have a 3rd testicle. it's kind of behind my left testicle and its flat not round But it is a Lump. However I don't notice on the testicle itself having anything on it but there seems to be a lot of stuff in there with the left testicle My insurance kicks in in 3 weeks do I have 3 weeks under normal circumstances or does cancer grow fast enough in the testicle that 3 weeks could kill me
Brief Answer:
It could be epididymitis, hydrocele, or a hernia
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
What you describe sounds like either epididymitis, hydrocele or a hernia. An ultrasound can help distinguish. It will be perfectly fine to wait three weeks if the pain does not worsen. Cancers grow very slowly, so do not worry about that.
Hope this helps.
