Lump on vein by Testicle

hi there , 

 

 

i have had for around a year and a half a very very small lump the size of about a quarter of a pea  not on my Testicle but on the vein near the Testicle. It can move but feels almost attached by a string . No pain , no swelling of testicles or other Symptoms just worried it could be cancerous . I believe it is called the eperdermis ? But not 100 percent sure if they should last for over a year . 

 

 

Any answers would be hugely appreciated 

 

Thanks

    Hi Cf2200. Welcome to the forum.

    Let me start out by saying I have no medical qualifications.

    There is a structure at the top of each testicle with the tongue twisting name of "epididymis". It can be felt as a small swelling, and sometimes it develops a small cyst, making it more prominent.  There is a medical drawing here which shows the main features of a testicle (probably not safe for work ;) )

    I suggest you check out this article: What should my testicles look and feel like?

    The rule here is that if you're worried about anything, you should see your GP.
