Lump on testicle, kidneys scanned during ultrasound

Hi all, I'm 32 and I found a lump oin my testicular area.. I went the GP he did his examination - from that I was sent for an ultrasound down below... anyway. Nothing much was said during the examination- however he proceeded to scan my kidneys left and right side. Telling me to tense my belly and relax whilst doing so. Is this normal. I thought it would just be the "ball" area ?? 

  • Hi Dannyboy_,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. To be honest I'm not too sure how common this is. Hopefully it won't be long to wait before you get the results and also an opportunity to talk things through with your doctor and ask any questions you may have.

    In the meantime, if you feel you'd like to chat to someone, you are welcome to give our nurses a call. You can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

    Wishing you all the best,
