Found a lump on the side of my testicle - what should I do?

Offline SL00 over 1 year ago

Hi

I have recently found a small hard lump on the side of one testical. It is very small, it feels a little larger than a poppy seed.

I'm in my 50's and have no other listed symptoms.

My question is, should I wait to see if it changes or book to see GP immediately?

Thanks

I'm sorry to hear about the lump you've found SL00 and for the worry this is understandably causing.

I'm not sure from your post how long you have had this lump, but you could wait a little bit to see if it improves, but if you're worried and feel you can't do that, then don't hesitate to book an appointment with your GP as they will be able to examine this lump and let you know if it is any cause for concern.

Hopefully some of our members will offer their thoughts and advice to you soon as well but in the meantime, we're thinking of you SL00 and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
