What Can Be The Reason For The Pain In The Testicle?

I have got a dull ache in my right testicul, and it seems to affect my leg as well. I have felt my testicals and there is a small lump on my right one, I pressed on it slightly and it started to hurt and the ache got worse. I am scared that it could be cancer, and have looked all over the web, there are many things it could be but I just want a professional opinion. I will be booking a doctors appointment for an examination. Could you tell me what things it could be.

I am 17 years old, I don't know my height, and I am a virgin.

Urologist,  's  Response
hello
Thanks for query .
Pain in testicle with palpable lump on testis is most likely to be due infection of the Epididymis and needs to be confirmed by clinical examination .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Ultrasound Scanning of scrotum

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefixime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily ..

Do not worry this is not due to any cancer .

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
