Lump on t******e, could it be cancerous?

Question

Okay, there's this "lump" on my right t******e, I can't feel any swelling around it and I am a little bit of discomfort but that may be because I've been putting some pressure on this "lump". I'm wondering if it could be the epididymis or something because if i feel it, it's quite painful to touch and it's quite soft around the edges. Also, i can feel what feels like cords or tubes coming from it, and it's quite long, as in, i can run my hand along it and it will join back up to the t******e. From where the "lump" is, there are some more tubes coming from it. Could this be cancerous or is it just a build of of fluids or a cyst?

I'm fourteen, and it's not causing me any pain as such

It doesn't really feel like a lump, as such. Just more of a thick vein, could it just be that?

Also, it's kinda hard to feel when i'm stood up

Answer 1

probably just a blood vessel...

Had something like this checked out a long time ago. go to your doctor and they'll tell you for sure. a Lump grows to the size of a peanut from what he told me.

Answer 2

It may be nothing but you never know until you get it checked out by a doctor and get a sonogram of the testicles.

Answer 3

see a doctor

Answer 4

jack off and if its fluids come out  the lump should come out if not then idk

Answer 5

Definitely have it looked at by a professional.  At your age, it could be just hormones, or a part of adolescence and maturing.  Cancer is so very rare at your age...but you want the professionals to decide that, not some stranger on the internet.  K?

Answer 6

Go and see a doctor then. People on here aren't qualified to diagnose cancer or anything else without inspecting it.  

Answer 7

it's not unusual, you're sack's just dropping, you should be celebrating, not worrying about it

Answer 8

The common answer, go to the doctors. It doesn't have to be cancerous to be extremely dangerous.

Answer 9

is the lump hard? or is it like veiny and its kinda flat?

Answer 10

Yep, you are right, this could just be your testes with the epididymis attached. However, anything you feel unsure of, should be checked over by the Dr.

Answer 11

Yeah, I think that is part of your testicles. I dont know what It is called, but is it on the right side of your right t******e? And if it has one long "vein" coming from it, then you are probably fine. Go to the doctor AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. If It is cancer, than the sooner you get it diagnosed the easier it is to treat. Cancer is cureable, so long as it is detected very soon.

Answer 12

you should see a DR to be safe ,, dont put pressure on it thought you dont want to burst it if it is a cyst ...

Answer 13

no

Answer 14

I would get it checked out..

Answer 15

It could be a cyst or a boil. Get it checked and maybe the Dr. can lance it for you or give you a medication to dissolve it.  I don't think it's cancer  the lump would be inside of the t******e for cancer.

Try putting Hot compresses on it  and it might break. You are irritating it..Stop playing with it and see a Dr.

Answer 16

Go to a doctor right away!

I had something simular and i waited a couple months because i just wanted to face the facts. lucky it wasnt anything, but it could have been and it would have gotten worse!

Answer 17

Chances are it is a normal thing for you.

But go see a urologist and have it examined.

Say some thing to your family doctor at next visit for sure.

Answer 18

it could be a cyst or maybe even a hernia. if it's painful though, u should get it checked out ASAP.

Answer 19

If could be, but chances are, its not.  Go to your doctor.  My doctor felt a lump in my s*****m and she sent me to get an ultrasound, and it was nothing.

Answer 20

email me at [e-mail] plllleeease i wanna chat

Answer 21

Best thing to do is firstly, not to get stressed out about it.

Just tell someone about it first, or you could go straight to the doctor without telling anyone and if its nothing, you're okay.
