Small hard lump on the top of my right testicle

So I seen a testicular cancer ad the other day and I decided to check my self just out of curiosity and on the top of my right testicle I have a small hard lump it’s smaller than a pea but it’s still there it has no pain and I’m not sure what it could be? I’m 15 so I don’t know if it’s something to do with puberty or something like that?

i’ve noticed i have had it for a while so it’s nothinh recent but I’m just not sure what it is? I’m tried to do research on it but I couldn’t find anything? 

Any suggestions? Or know what it could be?

  • Any one got any updates, I have the same issue have small hard lump right testicle beside the epididymis. Gp couldn't feel it on two occasions but sent me for a ultrasound on two occasions each time the scanner couldn't see anything and results came back clear. Have awful ache in my right testicle off and on.

  • I've got the same thing. The 'lump' is at the very top of my right ball, but I can feel the same 'lump' at the top of my left ball, so I think it's normal and I'm not too worried.

    I do get this on and off ache in the right testical though, sometime it's not there for days/weeks, and then it'll just come back out of no where.

    I've not gone for any scans or anything, or a check up... I need to change my GP from my old address first, but if any of you get anything back, do tell!

  • Hi Shaneb

    I would still get it checked out sooner rather than later that's what your GP is there for and as much as we don't like to hassle them it's there job and they have seen it all before. As I said I have had two scans and a few gp appointments which does give you some piece of mind. Is the lump near or on the epididymis?

     

     

     

     

     

     

  • Yeah I keep telling myself I'll go get it checked, just to be certain, but I'm yet to update my GP to where I live now, so I've got to arrange to get that done first. 

     

    I think i last had them checked around 3 years ago, and everything was fine then. 

    I think the lump IS the epididymis tbh. They're about the same size on both balls, but it's the occasional ache'ing in the right one that gives me the worry.

    Like you said, and like I know, I really do need to get re-registered and just get it checked. 

  • How you get on after mate I have same issues
