Lump On Testicle, Dull Pain, Blood In Stools. Drinking Soft Drinks, Iced Tea. Causes For Symptoms?
About two weeks ago I found a lump about the size of a pea on my right testicle . I also have a very slight discomfort in that area from time to time, it is just a slight dull ache. I contacted the VA and can not be seen until August 17th. The day before yesterday I had a small quantity of blood in the stool . Yesterday in the am my stool seemed free of blood but then this am there was again a bit of blood but less than the first time. The blood is a bright red. I once before had blood in my stool but was told it was a result of the diet I was on which included nothing to drink but a gallon of water a day with four limes squeezed in it. When I quit drinking the lime water the blood quickly cleared up. I have lately been drinking a lot of iced tea with lemon squeezed in it and over the course of last night I drank eight, twelve ounce Mtn Dews ( not a habit of mine). I am 51 years old. Is the blood in the stool likely to be related to the lump or what I have been drinking ? The blood is probably between one and two Tablespoons.

Hi,
From history your both complains seems to be different.
Having lump in your testicle might be due to having epididimo-orchitis.
For that consult sexologist and get examined.
Having blood in stool, as it is bright red might be due to having internal hemorrhoids.
But as you are 51 years, passing blood in stool requires evaluation.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Take plenty of water.
Avoid constipation.
Avoid fried and junk food.
Ok and take care.
