Think I've found a lump

Think I may have found a lump but can only feel it when my scrotum is tight without going into to much detail my partner noticed it and I can't feel it when my scrotum isn't tight I am having it checked out but just wondering if anyone may know what it might be because my mind is going a million miles an hour with worry at the moment 

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    I'm afraid we are unable to tell you if your testicular lump is anything to be worried about. But testicular lumps are common and are usually due to swollen veins or fluid filled cysts rather than cancer that you can read more about here

    It's good that you are getting the lump checked out by your GP. We always encourage people to make an appointment with their GP if their symptoms are persisting. Doctors are trained to assess symptoms and can arrange tests if they feel it’s necessary to try to find out what might be going on.

    I hope you know more about your situation soon.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,

    Celene
