Boy 11 with lump on testicle

Hi my 11 year old son had pain in his testicle about year ago thought it was twisted took him to a and e but they said everything was fine. About 2 months ago he was in pain again with a lump so off we went again to a and e to be told it was just a cyst no scan nothing if don't go away in 7 days bring him back. Well last week he told me the lump had come back but only hurts if he touches it so took him to gp I assume it could be a cyst again but doc as now made me worried as he said sometimes the lumps turn so u can't feel them so might off been there all this time so no I'm worried it is something more serious as he's said if it's it the big thing then they will just remove it he didn't want to say cancer if front off him but waiting for an appointment for hospital and I'm so worried about it 

  • Hi Jane38,

    I can understand this must be worrying and I'm sure the uncertainty and waiting for the appointment is unsettling. Try not to assume anything at this point - it's good to hear that he has been referred as this should give you some answers before too long.

    If you feel you'd like to talk things through with someone while you wait, our nurses are available on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
