Hi

I have some problems with the testicles/scrotum, as the last 14 days I have pain in the testicles and scrotum, I can not

differentiate it from exactly where it is coming from. It doesn't happen every day.

I wouldn't be worried if I wouldn't have a lump on my right testicle (I think I can describe it as being where the spermatic

dust comes to testacle, so it is on the back (anal side) of the testacle.

And I wasn't worried of a lump, because I've had it about 8 years ago. I went to a specialist who examined me by hand

(pressing very hard, it was very disconforting) and taking my urine. He then told me it is a normal lump. At this point I have

to mention that I've had a torsion of the left testicle when I was 10 years (I am 32 now). He told me this lump is from the

operation and I've probablly had it before, but didn't notice.

So I wasn't worried, but now I have this proble, I am. I saw a doctor (not specialist) and I don't have any bacteria in my

urine.

What bothers me is that problems started like an bladder infection, I had to urinate every few minutes, a few drops of urine

slipped after I finished etc. Pain in the scrotum was not immediately there. I still have some problems with urinating more

often, but in this days, the unpleasant feeling in scrotum was becoming my number one concern.

What I would like to ask, I do not find the information anywhere, is if it is possible you have a lump after torsion of the

testacle? If it is impossible, well, I am really scared than.

Yours

Is it possible for you to get a second opinion? I think that would be wise.

Have you also had your prostrate looked at - the dribbling signs could be related to early problems there? But it could also be an infection - may even be worth getting a second test done - labs have been known to be wrong!

Your English is OK!

Hi again

Hm, all the info I've been gathering this days, the symptoms point me (but I am no doctor) to the possible epididymitis.

Do you think that may be?

Sounds reasonable but I don't know enough to comment. Any chance of going back to you doctor with that suggestion? Maybe take some references with you? Is it self limitng or does it require treatment - from what you have read? Good luck.

It requires antibiotical treatment for a long time.

I can not belive to have a cancer, the lump is there for 8+ years. I read testis cancer is one of the fastest growing ones in the body. It wouldn't be the same after 8 years I guess.

Yes, I'll go back to the specialist, but it is hard to come fast to one here in Slovenia.

Yours
