No worries, proper clinical review

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,

It might important to know since when you noticed this lump. Knowing if the testicule is painful or not, if you got any urethral discharge or any unprotected sex is important. These if present would orientate towards an infection.

In case the lump is not painful and is not increasing in size, this could be less serious. Knowing if any of your family members has ever developed testicular cancer is important. It is not rare to have testicular tumors in the young, however, you need not be scared.

Other common conditions like a hernia intruding into the testicule , hydrocoele (fluid in testes or testicular cysts are not rare). Distended veins called varicocoeles are not rare in the young.

Some persons at times feel they could have issues and might really not. If you get keener too much to your testes than usual, you could get a false impression of a mass which really does not exist.

I do not think you need to panic. I suggest a proper clinical review from your primary care doctor.

Thanks and kind regards,

Dr Bain
