Brief Answer:
Can you elaborate?

Detailed Answer:
Hi Calvillohugo70,

Could you elaborate? How big is it? For how long have you had it? Any fever? Previous testicular problems? Pain when urinating? What you describe can be many things, e.g. epididymitis, varicocele, etc.

Looking forward to hearing from you again.

hi yes it small like a pea i just found it today and i have not had any testicular problems and no there is no pain when i urinate but the bump itself is painful

Brief Answer:
It sounds like a varicocele

Detailed Answer:
Hi again,

This definitely sounds like a varicocele, which is a completely benign dilatation of testicular veins. An ultrasound of your testicles will confirm the diagnosis. The condition is treatable with a small operation.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions.
