Partner went for Testes Ultrasound

Hello, does anybody know when ultrasound results for a “males teste”’are given out and how they are given out?

My Partner went for a scan on Monday for a small lump in one of his testicles, pea size or less than. I’m really worried the test results are going to come back something serious like Cancer. 

Also it took 5 minutes or less it was very quick, which didn’t give me much hope because it made me anxious that the Doctor didn’t look at them properly. So I don’t know why he did the scan so quickly. 

My Partner said that the Doctor told him, he can’t see anything on the scan at the moment of great urgency. And told him he would look at the results later on properly.

He does have a Lump there for certain as nurse felt it and confirmed it was there. Is it good news that the Doctor said what he said? I really need some reassurance and more understanding of what that means. Is that bad or good that he said he couldn’t see anything? I don’t know. Realisticly you’d think good news but what if he was just saying that to reassure my Partner not to panic or worry? I don’t know. 

I can’t help the way I feel as I’ve lost a lot of people early on in my life like my Parents and I’m only in my 20’s so it’s normal I have these worries of loosing the only person I have left. My Partner. 

honestly I’m absolutely terrified for the result.

I’m praying it’s nothing serious. It’s making me extremely anxious I can’t cope. 

  • Hello and thank you for your post,

    I am afraid we cannot give a diagnosis and until you have the report from the hospital no one can say what the results are. I know this is difficult and there is a lot of uncertainty for you at the moment.  However, it does sound positive that there is nothing urgent seen.

    Although it feels like the scan took only a short time, the doctor will be experienced in doing them and they will review the ultrasound scan when they report on it. So I wouldn't overthink about how long the scan took.

    I am sorry to learn that you have lost your parents, and, understandably, you are feeling worried and anxious about your partner's result. I wondered what support you have with your anxiety.  If you are finding it difficult to cope at the moment it might be worth having a chat with your GP and they will be able to help with the support you might need.

    Take care, all the best
