ok, i'm hoping one of you could enlighten me on my condition i am facing currently, i have already booked a doctors apointment for this, but am hoping to find some reassurance from you guys Ok, i've been getting a dull kind of aching pain in my left testicle for a while now, didnt follow up on it because i thought it was nothing, but yesterday as i was showering i noticed a kind of lump not on the testies but just above, where the tubes from the testicles would be, it feels quite big, and does hurt, but atm still something which is ignorable...any insights?

Lump around testicles

It can be many things:an infection of the Epididymis(sp?).. perhaps you have a varicocele which feels like the veins are expanded and "wormlike"maybe it is the "appendix testes" which is a small structure on the back of the testes.
-
well i can recall them feeling somewhat swolen/wormlike, feeling almost as if there was a knot, are any of the conditions you stated threatening?
-
I doubt it's anything serious. it's probably a varicocele which causes aches in teh area.
