There is a moveble lump on my right testical that i dont know what is

I am in my early 20s and i resently noticed a lump in the front on my right testical. it is detatched and i can move my testical independently form the lump. The lump is about the size of my testical, and it feels hard when i touch it. but my testical feels fine
i honestly cant remember if it where ther before or not as i have never done any regular self checks of my testicals, i only noticed it resently because my testical bekame unkomforteble and slightly hurt when squished. but its not the lump that hurts
so what might this be? I have done som googling and found referances to different types of cyst,cancer and even STDs. but none of them explain the symtoms very well other then in very general tearms and/or thay dont fit excacly. any help is aprichiated

It can be a number of things, and since   it is in an area that is of great importance, you should visit a urologist at once.

I honestly don’t know what this is, my guess is some type of cyst, which could be malignant but more likely is benign. I think it may be a good thing it’s not attached to the testicle, if it needs to be removed it prbly won’t affect that testicle at all.

However,  I’m not a Dr. nor a medical person, but even a Dr. would tell you they can’t diagnose this from a description, they need to examine you physically. So your best course of action is to make an appointment w/ your reg Dr. 1st, let him/her examine you, you may be referred to a specialist (possibly a Urologist), get diagnosed & have a plan of treatment.

My guess is that they will want to surgically remove this. Most likely it started very small & has been growing, so even if it’s relatively harmless, it’s going to start crowding the testicles & cause scrotal swelling & discomfort, so I think you’re going to want it removed, regardless of whether it’s benign or not.

Please do not delay - make a Dr. appointment ASAP & please check back in & let us know what’s found & what treatment they recommend. We can all learn from your experience...
