Is Epididymal Cyst On Left Testicle A Sign Of Testicular Cancer?
Question: hiii I am a man of age 33. I am having an epididymal cyst on the left testicle(confirmed by ultrasound test) and the local urologist advised me just to leave it as it is. Today while I was doing work in my home and was dealing with an electric extension cord, the plug of the electrical extension cord hit my right testicle(not the left) lightly for which I felt a bit pain for some about 1 min . Then the pain disappeared. Sir as I have read many things about testicular cancer (i.e.- testicular trauma may lead to testicular cancer) I am much afraid. Can this incident may lead to testicular cancer ??? Now there is no pain with the testicle .
Brief Answer:
Not cancer----------------------------------------
Detailed Answer:
welcome to the forum.
Possible causes of cancer are known, but not the exact cause. So free your mind of cancer. If still worried, please get examined and get a scan done of the scrotum.
Blood collection around the testes is more likely due to injury and that is more of a concern than cancer.
Moreover, cancers are usually painless, unlike shown in the movies!
Hope you understand,
Regards

Since you do not have enlargement or pain, chance of blood collection is unlikely.
Trauma does not lead to cancer.
