Help-Testicular Cancer????

[gfactor]

Alright... I had my physical taken about a month ago. During that time the doctor was so involved in asking me if I took steroids (I don't yet) that he forgot to check my testicles. I began researching about anabolics and I came across testicular shrinkage... SO what do I do... I feel my fuckin' balls.... I felt something weird on my right ball.... It was a lump... I was thinking a testicular pimple?? I tried to pop it LOL but without avail. I have no symptoms so I leave it alone.. till I read a medical book saying it can be cancer... So about 4 weeks later I tell my parents.... I might see a urologist.

I personally hate showing strangers my dick.

Do you think its cancer? If so what happens now??

Well I can shed some light on this seeing as I had to go through this whole ordeal for a lump that was discovered when I was 23. I found it myself on the upper part of my left testicle. I was at the very top and about the size of a pea. I went to my doc and he sent me to a urologist who did some tests and discovered it was a lump not attached to the actual testicle and just in the connecting tissue. It wasnt cancerous at all. The chances are small that it might be cancer but believe me when I tell you that you can count your lucky starts right now if it is because you found it really early. Its very easily treated when caught early. Its when its neglected and it spreads to your lymph nodes is when its bad news. Youll be fine. The doctor does not want to see your balls anymore than you want to show them to him. Hes there to help you just remember that.

Thanks bro. I want to go to the urologist directly but my health insurance needs a referral.

I have been thru it. I my case my right testicle swelled to 10X is normal size. I ended up having 2 tumors in one sac. I had no idea I was sick, until after the operation. Then I realized that I was always carrying a low grade fever, I just thought it was from the constant dieting and training....Hind sight is 20/20. One good thing is that after the Chemo and radiation , my body rebounded like crazy , I added 20lbs lean muscle I still carry today. But better safe than sorry, get checked.

Go see a doc but calm down about it. I've have two friends with the same thing and both turned out to be benign. They seem to be pretty common. Also, there is no reason to expose any more of yourself than what is neccessary.
