What Causes Lump In Testicles?
Hi. My husband found a lump inside of his ball sack awhile ago. He went to the doctors but it disappears when he lays down, like it goes back into his body so they just said that there was nothing but recently it has gotten bigger and is starting to worry us. Any idea what this might be?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Lump in the testis should not be ignored. It can be a cyst (hydrocele), inguinal hernia or even a cancer. The last one should be ruled out at first.
Hernia can appear and disappear especially when changing position. It may also give pain in the groin while coughing or lifting heavy objects.
I suggest you to consult a surgeon or urologist. Ultrasound should be done.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
