Pasted from my previous 2 topics:
sorry for all of the questions on malignant tumors, but yesterday when i got the stupid idea to squeeze the lump on my left testicle and it seemed to have got much smaller almost as if it popped but it didn't (and yes the doctor said it was nothing, just making sure it wasn't a misdiagnosis) anyways another interesting fact is that it appears vein green when i push it tight up against my scrotum, help is much appreciated. To further explain my question, does this sound like a malignant tumor to you.

What you need to do is see another doctor. He can tell you if it is or not.

I'm not a doctor but, I have compassion for anyone who's question doesn't get an answer. I don't have any advise other than you tell you that if your doctor didn't suggest any further actions then it is most likely nothing. The medical field is a tight profession and they recommend each other's services like we recommend a movie or a candy bar. So, if your doctor didn't pass you along to someone else in his/her field than you most likely don't have anything wrong with you.

your doctor should do a biospy of the growth, thats the only way to be sure whether its benign or malignant. if it is green that is strange, is there any pain associated with it, swelling? if you have been to the doctor he knows whether it is a tumor or an infected tube. if you have these questions and your doctor hasnt answered them then i recommend getting a second opinion from another doctor.

You should see a urologist to get some peace of mind. They are the doctors who specialize in testicular problems.
I am a nurse, and I can tell you are worrying yourself crazy.
Just make an appointment and tell the receptionist what your problem is so she can get you in without waiting 6 months.
I can tell you from my experience, a urologist will tell you exactly what your problem is.

I am not a doctor, see one for a real diagnosis. However anything that you might suspect DO NOT squeeze, prod , cut or molest in any way. That could be the catalyst for making it grow, or even turn.

No it doesn't but that is because like you I don't know what a malignat tumour looks like. Go back and ask the people that do and if they tell you again that it's not find something else to fret about.

my oncologist told me that usually if its cancer it doesn't hurt, and doesn't seem to be growing, plus if you can move it around fairly easy, it is probably nothing. hope it helps.
