Recently i noticed a large lump on one of my testis. It doesnt hurt at all. I'm scared to believe it may be cancer. Now i suffered a torsion about 4 months ago but it was the other testi. I had minor surgery and everything went fine. I was able to keep both testis, none had to be removed from the surgery. Now i noticed the lump. The lump is pretty big but i dont know if its a result from the surgery or cancer and the lump is not hard, it seems to be pretty soft. Also with the surgery they performed 3 different ultrasounds so i'm thinking, wouldnt anyone have noticed it if it was indeed cancer? Also it does not seem to sort of "in" my testicle. When i touch it, it seems i can like slide it around on my testicle but once i stop it goes right back to its normal position. Does anyone have info that could help me out? And how big are the lumps that are associated with cancer? Thank you for the help and please contact me or respond to this question if you have any answers.

I am sure you know the answer, it is what you'd say to someone else if you could be objective (if it didn't happen to you): go to the doctor to check it IMMEDIATELY. I really hope it is nothing serious, but even if it is sth. simple, perhaps it needs treatment early enough in order to remain a simple thing. And if it is more serious, early treatment is definitely crucial. I wish you to get well soon. Just promise that you will go to the doctor TODAY or TOMORROW, and let us know what happened, OK? I know you are scared, but putting it off a. makes it more dangerous, b. gives you more stress. Get it over with!

Good question! I think it is because so many women get breast cancer, and so many die from it. I am not sure what the statistics are on testicular cancer. I know that Lance Armstrong, an athlete and survivor of testicular cancer, has a foundation or charity to raise money for research.

This occurring so soon after your torsion episode, I would say it probably isn't cancer. However, I am not an oncologist and even they need a biopsy to be certain. Go to your doctor, he'll be able to say what's wrong.

it could well be a hydrocoele which is simply a fluid filled cyst or a variocoele - a bulge in one of the veins in ur testicle.dont rely on our answers tho - get it checked.well done for checking urself tho - not enough men do anything even if they find something.don't worry am sure it will be fine. my hubby had a variocoele a few years back and we panicked too, needlessly as it turned out.good luck tho xx

What's your weight/height and how much meat do you eat?
Bigger people are more at risk of getting cancer and meat contains an ingredient that causes cancer called "sodium nitrate"
But yeah I'd get it checked out
