What Causes Lump On Testicle?

Hello, I m a 19 year old college student but I ve been kind of freaking out about a mysterious lump on m right testicle. It s been on me for a while now except it s not growing, causing pain, nor am i having unusual discharge. I am sexually active and there seems to be no problem. It s just there and I don t know what it is.

Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of testicular lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.     spermatocele or sperm granuloma: sperms get collected in this case and get destroyed there. treatable by aspiration or surgery!

2.     The second possibility is of benign and simple tumor like conditions like adenomatoid tumor: surgery is necessary in this case!

3.     The last possibility is of benign non-alarming conditions like cysts or fibroma; nothing to do with them! Nothing to worry about these also!

Inflammatory conditions like tuberculosis or epididymo-orchitis are possibly not responsible in your case.

I suggest you to go for an FNAC and ultrasound of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
