Afternoon all,

I've just returned from the doctors as I found a lump on my testicle the other day - thankfully mine is nothing to worry about, either a cyst or an inflamed vein and apparently fairly common. I just have to go back for an ultrasound to find out which it is at the begining of next month.

I just thought I would take this opportunity to say how important it is for you all to check yourself regularly and to go to the doctors if you find something even slightly abnormal, its better to be safe! I know that we have these reminders every so often but I haven't seen one for a while.

Theres always one to lower the tone ;)

Yeah, just got to go find out if its a cyst or vein. I guess there might be something that they can do about it. Not too bothered now I know what it isn't!!

Im going to the doctor tomorrow, had a bit of pain for a few weeks and I feel it's swollen on the left side - I am absolutely bricking it, and I am all alone tonight too, which makes it all the better :( I always think the worst though, I just hope I am wrong as usual!

G.

Mate, thats what I had, been aching, and I had a swelling on my right side. I was bricking it too, got a mate to come to the Dr with me to take my mind off while i was waiting. Its all cool, doctor knew straight away it wasnt a problem. Apparently small cysts and veins are really common. I know its hard not too but dont get too concerned! And good luck tomorrow, let us know how it goes :)
 
I do vaguely remember the thread, I'm glad that everythings worked out well for you :)

Your experiences just go to prove how important it is to check regularly!
