Ball in testicle

Hello. 
 

I have recently become very anxious of a ball in my scrotum. It feels as if it is a 3rd testicle, connected to my left testicle. It is not a particularly new issue, but something I have only recently began to think about. Im 20 years old, and know I should have it checked as soon as possible but was just wondering if anyone had any advice or knowledge about it? 
Thanks

  • Dear Edwin,

    Hello and thank you for your enquiry. I was sorry to read that you are worried about your testicle.

    We always advise that when you have concerns about your testicle, to make an appointment with your GP who can advise you further, and hopefully reassure you.

    Most testicle lumps and bumps are easily explained, and are not anything serious. Testicular cancer is in fact very uncommon.

    There is some useful information on the NHS websites on what testicles should feel and look like here

    and there is information on testicle lumps and swellings at this link

    I hope you find this helpful.

    Kind regards,

    Vanda
