Hi. You may wish to have your testicular lump examined by another doctor, just to get a second opinion, if you feel you have doubts about your present doctor's diagnosis.
Thanks for your reply, i have seen another doctor for a second opinion and both agree that it is not cause for concern as it feels more like a ridge and not a lump. This does not explain the groin pains i have been having though and i am still worried.
They both told me that a cancerous mass would be larger on the testicle and would continue to grow. What i really need to know is does the lump itself become larger with time in testicular cancer?
Hi. Yes. A cancerous mass in the testicle will progressively get bigger unless treated. Don't worry too much about it. Two doctors have already told you that you don't have a lump in your testicle. So relax and focus your mind on more productive pursuits.
Although the lump on the testicle has not grown i do not understand the abdominal and groin pains i am suffering with. The pain is focused in two places the first and most commonly felt is just above my waist line and slightly to the right, if i put pressure on this i can feel a sharp pain. the second place i have pain is actually in the groin on the left hand side around an inch below the waistline. I believe that these are pains commonly associated with testicular cancer and together with the lump this is why i believe that there could be something more sinister.
