Glad the scan came back clear.

I had a lump and it turned out to be a cyst.. Still it's very painful and worrying to say the least.

Not quite in the clear yet mate but as I said if the lump has changed in anyway or grown it's always worth while to get another ultrasound just to keep an eye on things.

Best of luck OP

For all those with cysts (especially if it's uncomfortable/painful or increasing in size) you can get it removed on the nhs. The surgery might leave a very small scar but is low risk and doesn't take long.

Just to echo what others have said, if you feel anything unusual go to the doctor straight away!

Glad your ok. I am in the same situation, had tests found out to be cysts.

Its really very painfull

what should one be looking for? anything out of the ordinary i guess?

matthewhotdude · 23 Nov 2010 at 18:22

My doctor sent me for a scan once, thankfully it turned out to be nothing, they just said they were bigger than "normal" Stupid doctor scaring the **** out of me just because he hadnt seen big balls before

Yep, essentially if you feel anything out of the ordinary then get it checked out. This does presuppose that you've got an idea of what "ordinary" is or was for you. You could take a look at the video that jp_bl_68 posted for further advice - he reckons there's a message to it, I may have missed it.

Lumps, bumps, swelling, enlargement, pain etc. Even testicular shrinkage could indicate a problem.

Is 5 times a day too often?

KatanaDV20 · 23 Nov 2010 at 23:45

Hope it all works out for you dude, a wake-up call for all of us to get checkin'.

pinkacidbootson · 24 Nov 2010 at 02:32

I imagine I wasn't the only one who already had one hand on the mouse and the other hand on the balls

Best doing it in a hot bath when the balls are nice and loose. You can have a good feel then.

Forgot to mention this!!!

Just had my Urology appointment for Monday 29th... Getting so nervous now and having anxiety doesn't make it any easier.

I hate waiting!

Morgoth · 24 Nov 2010 at 11:42

I get my wife to check mine.

With her tongue.

Talbs13 · 24 Nov 2010 at 12:15

Had a doctor check mine which I wasn't expecting. Went in to check on lumps found on my groin and she asks if she can check my testies!

Very weird experience but all clear so that's good!

Made me laugh so hard!

God, that video is good.

Yup.

I think it was on embarrasing bodies they went round with a red pouch which had a fake pair of testicles in it and then had male members of the public feel to see if there were any/how many lumps.

Be interesting to know what lumps might feel like and how how you need to press as most of the people who took part seemed suprised at how hard they had to press.

I check every now and then probably not as often as I should.
