Testicular cancer

Noticed i have a small lump ( smaller than a pea, or near enough the same size) on the far back on my right  ***. It's right where my balls start if that makes sense, ligit where my balls start, so near the bit where my thigh and balls start, so you can't see it unless I move my right leg out 

I have no symptoms or anything but starting to panic, anyone know if this is what I think it is 

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    Testicular lumps are quite common and are mostly caused by cysts or knobbly veins that you can read more about here. However we always suggest if someone notices a new lump they get it checked out by their GP just to be on the safe side.

     I know it can sometimes feel embarrassing to talk about such matters but doctors are vey used to assessing this type of thing. Hopefully they can put your mind at ease but if they are unsure in any way they can refer you for an ultrasound to check it out.

    Try not to worry but do speak to your doctor when you get the chance.

    Take care
