Testicular pain and lump

Hi, I’m 20 years old and I’m currently feeling a lot of discomfort and pain in my right testicle and I have a hard pea sized lump at the bottom. This happened to me more than a year ago with the same symptoms and the same lump but I got an ultrasound done which came back normal and the symptoms eased a few weeks after without any medication. But I’m worried as the same feelings are back and the lump is still there and it feels really hard. I have been to the GP and got examined but no clear results so they advised me to get an ultrasound. I haven’t been able to get an appointment and I’ve been having a lot of anxiety worrying as the pain doesn’t go and it feels really heavy and uncomfortable. I’m scared it might be cancer and it can affect my career. 

  • Hi Gerancio45,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can see you have also posted similar in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum, so you'll get a reply from one of our nurses soon.

    It's good to hear you have seen your GP - if they have referred you for an ultrasound then hopefully it's not too much longer to wait for this.

    Wishing you all the best,
