Just thought I'd post an update. Managed to get booked for an Ultrasound come next Monday at 9:15 (01/10/2018 09:15). 

Again. I want to make sure it is an't anything dodgy. I did find out that I had a surgery for an undescended testicle back in 1999 (when I was 4). Had no idea. I was always told it was to remove my appendix. Family were probably too embarassed or what have you. I can't blame them considering the culture they were born in. My fault somewhat for not finding out as I'd gotten older I guess.

Update on the lump (less a lump, think more like a spot around a cm or two from the Epididymus). Cannot find it quite a lot of the time however I have noticed that is is most prevalent after gym. Probably after a period of high exertion. No increase in size however and its always the same place when I am lucky to have found it. Doesn't sound right to me.

Cheers!

Just had an ultrasound with MediScan (who apparently guarantee results within 48 hours)through me doc. Turns out to be two cysts on the Epidydmal (sp?) head. I think one or each testicle (possibly both on one). 

Would probably explain what was going on. Gonna call the doc on Wednesday during lunch to confirm everything.

But! I reckon its looking good. 

Cheers

Hey [@liamliam]‍ !

Yeah so mine was about a cm below the Epididymis as well (so pretty much similar to yours), on the curve of the Testicle. Which is what caused the initial concern (by myself). If you actually look at the anatomy of a Testicle, you'll find that it curves down over the top of said Testicle. So if anything, I don't think (retrospectively - the Me back then was really, really worried) it's anything to be overly concerned about. The Ultrasound is a really good indicator to see whether a growth needs looking into or not according to me GP.

You did good by getting the Ultrasound though. If you are feeling a little uncertain then please go to your GP and ask to run more tests. A blood test for example. My recent test took about a day to get back to me Doctor (but can take back up to 2 days which ain't too bad!).

I can still feel my Cyst sometimes. But only after a really stressful day or after a heavy Lower Body day at the Gym.

Lemme know how it goes. 

Cheers,

Umali

Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it! It sounds like yours was pretty similar to mine. I just can't understand why it's called an Epididimal cyst if it's not on the Epididumus. That's really what's keeping me in a panick, even post ultrasound.

My main concern is, now I've had one, they wont allow me another (probably as I don't need one) but this could result in letting somehting get worse. Just for extra clarification, would you mind letting me know if yours was in a similar location to mine. I've put a red dot where mine is located (non graphic dont worry). Or if in a different location, was it similar in it's disance from the epididimus?

Thanks again for your reply!

Hi buddie I've found a small rice lump on my left testicle it's hard and feels like rubber I have a constant dull ache and dragging feeling in my scrotum I went to the gp and she ha referred me to have an ultrasound scan I'm trying not to worry about it but it's hard as it there and I'm sure it's getting bigger I know it's not a cyst due to its location

I got my appointment for my scan 4 week wait.

How are you and have you had your scan and what was your outcome 

Hey pal,

Also had a 4 week wait so that's not really all that unusual. So had my scan - took all of about 15 minutes tops. The dude that was doing it told me the results at the end. Told me that it is/ was a Cyst. Actually, he said he found "Multiple Benign Cysts". 

Then he sent the report to my GP who also reviewed and confirmed "It was Benign Epidydmal Cyst(s)". So it's all good. I still feel it now again when I do a heavy lower-body focused Gym Session (I suspect due to increased blood-flow) a year on but it's not increased in size at all. 

I know exactly how you feel bud. I had similar symptoms myself and I coulda sworn at times that it grew bigger. It didn't and the only thing that was happening was that I was checking myself so often that I'd almost irritate it - thus pushing more blood-flow through it. Perhaps that's what is happening? I would 100% recommend not touching it or irritating it anymore than what's needed.

Anxiety over something like this can usually exacberate things and make you feel worse. Try and focus on something else in the room. Say, your clock! Look at the time and count down. Do that for a good minute.

Right now, I'm all good! Not entirely health (got some issues with my Gut which I'm seeing a GI about but I doubt they're anything serious at all) but in terms of me testicles - the boys are doing all good and I've little to no issues with them. It's not nice feeling like that so I completely empathise with you.

If you need someone to chat to, feel free to pop me a PM or just reply back on this thread. Keep us updated if you can mate.

Cheers!

Hey man,

Really, really sorry about missing this. I can't believe I did that! See, the epidymal wraps around the entirety of the testicle and almost branches out like the roots of a tree. Ultrasounds can be quite conclusive with regards to something like this.

I can confirm mine was exactly in the same place as yours (i mean, on my testicle that is hehe). Or atleast one of them. I had multiple apparently but they were so small, they'd only appear through the Ultrasound and I couldn't feel them. All Epidimal Cysts!!

Again, so sorry for completely missing this mate. That's 100% my bad! 
Cheers!

Hey, 

Don't worry about it mate! Your other replies helped me get past my fear. I've left it behind now and it doesn't bother me at all now. Thanks for your help! Unfortunately, my attention has turned elswear and my health anxieties continue. But I'm seeking help for it and feel good about the direction I'm heading. 

Hope you are well and thanks again for your reassurance.

Hi,

I'm glad you've managed to help yourself get past it! Yeah I feel you on the health anxieties. I've been dealing with some of my own lately. The more I worry about them, the worst things get. Funnily enough not worrying about them makes all me issues go away. Kinda strange how that works eh?

But yeah, good to hear things are all good with yourself.

I'm great thanks for your asking. As always - feel free to post back here if you are in need of help :)

Cheers!
