Is It Dangerous To Have 1.5 Cm Testicular Mass?

Good evening...

I am a little worried, I have an appontment tomorrow morning with a urologist. I was at a hospital today and following a scrotal ultrasound, it was confirmed that I have a solid echogenic mass of 1.5 cm under my right testicle.I had noticed the area to be sensitive, as when you touch a bruised area.
Can it be non - serious, or can I only expect bad news?

Thank you for your time

HI dear friend!
You too know the obvious truth.
BUT why to worry till you see an Urologist.
There is definitely a chance that it may be a serious thing.
Ideally they should have done Ultrasonography of the whole abdomen to screen for lymph nodes and IF turns out to be negative nothing much to worry.
GO ahead and face whatever it is..
Please feel free to ask for more information if yo have any other queries and keep me posted of the further investigations and reports. I would be Happy to assist you more.
