I'm Starting To Get Worried... - Cancer Message Board

OK, I might be paranoid but I think I might have testicular cancer. One of my testicles seems to be bigger than the other and even seems to hang lower. I'll also feel a pain down there from time-to-time but I've really been feeling it these last few days. I know I'm supposed to be checking for a lump but I'm not sure if what I am feeling is normal or not, it's so hard to describe. I really want to go to the doctor so he can check it out but I have another problem--I'm without insurance. I am 21, college student (currently not full-time) and I'm also not working full-time either. I started a job that offers health insurance but that's only after 1,000 hours of working there. I don't know if I can wait that long...I have no clue what to do and I am really starting to get worried...

nah, I don't think you have too much to worry about. one of mine also hangs lower than the other, and I'm pretty sure I know what that weird stuff is that you feel when you check yourself. your feeling blood vessels and stuff like that. i feel the same thing. i have pain in my testicles if i stand for a long time after sex. i also noticed that if i have sex, go to bed, and get up four hours later to go to work, (and when I have to **** I usually wake up in the morning hard), they will usually hurt if I wake up hard. i'm assuming it's normal because of getting hard again after having sex only three or four hours ago.
