Suggest Treatment For Lump Near Scrotum
Question: i have a small pea size lump around my scrotum area that appears to be free floating with no pain. Any idea what it might be
Brief Answer:
Probably a swollen lymph gland!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this gland and all the disturbing thoughts this has caused you. If you have had any cold/flu symptoms recently, this is the likely cause. lymph glands swell in response to infections and take longer than the infection to regress. Its size means it is not related to any other chronic disease condition.
Let me know what you think about this.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

I have not had any colds or flu this winter. I had a full physical the first of november, everything was good. I did have some dental work done about a week ago but that is it. What would a cancerous tumor feel like? You say the size is a good sign? I felt this pea this morning for the first time and it took me almost an hour to find it again. You fairly sure it is a gland?
Brief Answer:
Sure it is a glad....Probably related to the dental work!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
cancers are big and cannot be moved around. That is simply not cancer. I am sure about it.
Glands swell as a result of an infection/inflammation/etc. With recent dental work, that might have XXXXXXX the trigger. Otherwise, you are good. be calm, and relaxed about this.
I wish you well.

First of all you have made my day answering as quickly as you have. Next, I was not aware of glands in the testicle area, I am 100% sure that whatever I felt was pea sized and shaped with no pain.

Hi and thanks for your kind words.
For more precision, thesis not cancer. However, there is some form of clarifications and addition I should make. In addition to glands, this could be a small remnant from development of the sexual organs.
Be calm. There is nothing to be concerned about. I wish you well. And always here for you.
