Small lump on lower part of testicle

So on Thursday I felt a small lump on my left testicle, around lower curve. I'd says its maybe the size of a grain of rice or small pea but it does feel pea shaped (if you get what I mean). Since finding I've done nothing but stress over it; on Saturday I'd essentially giving up and accepted I'm going to die before I'd even had it checked out. I have no other pain or symptoms that I can think of. Testicle doesn't feel any different other wise and the only time it's sore is when I mess on feeling about too much. I used the econsult thing online with my doctors but I panicked when they rang me and purposely missed the call. 

  • Welcome to the forum Lilam691 although I'm sorry for the stress this lump is causing.

    I'm not sure if you've spoken to your doctor since making this post but I really do hope you answered their call when they rang again as they are the only ones who can give you the answers and reassurances you're seeking at this time.

    Our community know how scary finding unexplained lumps can be so I'm sure you'll receive some support from them soon but in the meantime I hope this information I've found on the NHS website will help put your mind at ease.

    Kind regards,

  • Well I went to the doctors today. Had a look/feel and felt the lump. Said he'll refer me to have an ultrasound for peace of mind but he said it didn't feel like anything sinister. Still a little unsure how to process this news. Like does this mean I'm in the clear? What are they chances he says it doesn't feel like anything sinister but the ultrasound says otherwise? 

     

     

     

    Sorry, this things has stressed me out non stop since I noticed it  

  • Hello Lilam691, 

    It's reassuring that your doctor said he didn't think it would be anything sinister but it sounds like he is being very thorough which is a good thing and therefore referred you for an ultrasound. So although no one here can really tell you what it might or might not be, try not to panic as the doctor's words sound rather reassuring. It's important to go to the ultrasound though for peace of mind and I keep everything crossed that it all turns out to be fine for you! 

    Best wishes,

  • Hi Lilam691,

    I have something similar and can't sleep and just stress all day. I have a scan next week, but wondering what your scan found?

    hope all was well!

  • It was a scrotal pearl. Hardened calcium I think he said! 

    Fingers crossed for a good result with your scan!
