Dear Ask The Doctor: Hi there, I found a lump on my right testicle about the beginning of the year and didn’t take any notice of it but the past few weeks i have been very worried, The lump is a bit bigger than a pea and i have not noticed really of it getting bigger but i may be wrong. Yesterday i went and saw Urologist and got a blood test and Ultra-sound of the testicle. Today i just received a phone call informing me that my blood count came back NORMAL but the lump is pretty suspicious still and he wants to go ahead and remove it Tomorrow at 8am which all seems so full on and fast to me. I am only 19 years old I’m healthy don’t smoke ever but do drink alcohol most weekends. I was wondering if you could PLEASE help me out on a second opinion of the matter? Kind Regards Jack
Dear Jack: You should not hesitate to have this lump removed! Testicular cancer often presents like this but if caught early can be cured. So please do not delay in getting this lump removed. |
