Suggest Cure For A Lump On The Testicle

I have occasional pain around my left teste, a dull ache that lasts for a few minutes or hours. On self-examination I can find nothing untoward, except a small lump, the size of a small ball bearing (about 3mm acoss), that seems to be completely mobile and tender when palpitated. I think it may be a scrotal calculus. Is there any treatment, or are they completely benign?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
I have read and understood the problems.
You history says dull ache that lasts for few minutes to hours - self examination small lump 3 mm, mobile and tender when palpated - you think of the calculus and wants to know if any treatment and whether this is benign or not.

Small bump can cause the pain only if it is a cyst that has got twisted.
I would advise you the following:
Color Doppler with ultrasonography.
Clinical evaluation and physical examination by an Urologist.

Surgery for removal of the lump if it is thought to be the cause of pain in the left testis.
Medical treatment if it is due to infection like epididymitis and / or Orchitis
Scrotal support
Evaluation of the Genito-urinary tract by ultrasonography of the abdomen, tests of blood and urine. Further tests of IVP if required.
