Worried about having testicular cancer

Hi I don't know if this the right place but I am 22 and suffer with really bad health anxiety on a daily basis and a week or so I had checks done by the doctor and they said I have no lumps or anything on my testicles and I was fine but I am still worrying about the possibility of having testicular cancer. It's got me to the point where I am thinking about it everyday that something is wrong down there because my scrotum is pink and saw and itchy. Sometimes I am unable to sleep at night because I am worrying that much hopefully I can get some support or something back cheers 

  • Hello Kane_M and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear that you are feeling so anxious about your health.

    I feel that you need to be reassured that your GP has checked your testicles and there are no worrying features.

    Try not to examine your self too much as this will make the area sore.

    I would also talk to your GP about some coping techniques to help manage your anxiety.

    You may want to ask your GP to refer you for some Talking therapies or some counselling.

    You may also want to get in touch with Anxiety UK as they may be a better organisation to help manage your anxiety.

    I do hope that some of these links may be helpful.

    I wish you all the best,

    Catherine
