Go see doctor soonest.

Just a warning, they are going to take it if they even suspect cancer. They don't like to biopsy those for fear of causing them to metastasize.

This is what happened to my dad. Bummer was it turned out to be scar tissue from a nut shot he took from our dog.

Good luck dude. Ask for a brass prosthetic, then you could say you actually do have a brassy pair.

Tumors would be painful to the touch...

Rub one out to see if it goes away.

Doctor, anyway.

How did you find it?

We're you looking or just like WTF is this?

Any problems before to make you look for something?

Go get that shit checked out ASAP. Not something you want to gamble with.

I found one about the size of a large pea when I was a teen. Went to the doc right away to get it checked out. She handled the satchel and set me up with an appointment several days later for some type of ultrasound. Went in for that, had my satchel handled again by some other chick, had some cold gel rubbed on 'em, the lady moved her little ultrasound wand all over 'em, was told to apply pressure like I was going to the bathroom, farted a little, got let out with a clean bill of health. The bump eventually disappeared over the next year or so.

Head to the doc sooner rather than later. Any abdominal or back pain?

Posted: 10/6/2012 8:23:29 PM EDT

With any luck its just a benign tumor. I went through something like this awhile back, although it wasnt quite a quarter.

Definitely scary though

Skip the general practitioner and go straight to getting it ultra sounded

Get it checked by a doctor as soon as you can, but don't panic; it's probably just a hydrocele. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hydrocele/DS00617

Do get it checked out though...

Just reachin' down there to do the ol' check-&-feel and there it was. The right one has usually always been the larger one, and the whole tube gear assembly or whatever the shit is on the bottom, but this feels like it's ON the nut. Not what I'm use to feelin' down there.

Had the same scare, mine turned out to be a normal cyst.

Agreed. Doctor now (or ASAP).

Good luck.

Time for a user name change?

Don't worry, Monorchid sounds bad ass.

Kid I was in high school with got stomped by a bull.

Squished one of his balls.

We call him 1nut after that

Posted: 10/6/2012 8:27:17 PM EDT

Get it checked out ASAFP, but don't panic yet. Trapped pockets of seminal fluid can form, called spermatoceles. If they get squished or aggravated, they can become painful and lead to blood in your semen (really spooked my wife...

).

They're generally harmless, and they only treat them if they're really big.

That said, they usually aren't directly ON the testicle; they form in the plumbing at one end. If it's right on the nut, bust a gut and get to the doc.

I have a pea-sized lump on mine. Freaked me out when I found it, I was 18. It turned out to be a cyst.

Well it seems to be on the top of the nut closest to the ol' crane operator where the rest of the stuff is.

A quarter what?

I didn't know they sold Hubble Magnetron Microscopic Microscopes on the retail market?

My dad had a cyst that was the size of a grape before they eventually drained it. I never saw it but he gave me graphic details.

Posted: 10/6/2012 8:32:56 PM EDT

Epididymitis? Mild feeling of getting hit in the groin along with stomach/abdominal pain?

Eta: IPad spelling.

Posted: 10/6/2012 8:34:13 PM EDT

[#30]

Dr. on Monday. Don't mess around with something like that.

Like said above, if it's not painful, more than likely a cyst. But don't take chances, find out.

I had one about 6 years ago.
Most often its a benign cyst on one of your tubes. Which is what I got. It keeps getting bigger, btw. I have 3 1/2 balls at this point.
Hopefully thats all it is. You'll get a ultra-sound to confirm.
liquid filled, good. solid mass, bad.

Maybe it could be replaced by those Neuticle things they use for dogs.

Seriously, have it checked out ASAP.

Are you sure the size of a quarter?

How about go get it checked out, and it's probably nothing

Posted: 10/6/2012 9:00:10 PM EDT

[#37]

Just get an ultrasound. It's likely to be benign... so don't worry until there's something to worry about.

And even if it does turn out to be cancerous, your odds of a cure are excellent. If you had to reach into the grab-bag-o-cancers and pull one out, Testicular CA would be one of the ones you'd rather have. Small-cell lung CA, Pancreatic CA, Myelogenous Leukemia... etc... those all suck a LOT more than testicular CA.

Ditto what Sylvan said. I've been treated for cysts on both sides. Hopefully the ultrasound tech won't be a hot 20-something year old blond chicky snack.

Don't let that fool you a whole lot... One of my best friends had nut-cancer when he was 19. One day, boom... 1 inch mass. Had it removed the next week. It was touch and go for awhile but he made it. It obviously didn't slow him down a lot. 17 years later he has like 87 kids.

Good news is, you only need one. My daddy said he was born with just the one.

Sometimes we have to nut up and make the sacrifice.

RIP Righty.

There's always a possibility that it's a spermatocele. Call the doc and see a urologist either way.

Is it *on* the testicle or does there feel like there's some separation?

Sorry to hear that, man.
Don't let your friends talk you into using a meat cleaver, it's total overkill.

Just a sharp pocketknife & some good scissors & stapler you're good to go.
It's no big deal. You only need one anyhow. Hitler only had one.

Six years ago, I found one too. I REALLY was avoiding a visit to the Urologist. The wife swore she would duct tape me and wheel chair me to the office visit

.

I did go for the exam. Waiting for the Doctor to come into the exam room, I was sweating bullets. He knocks on the door and comes in with another dude in a white coat. He said, this is intern so and so, do you mind if he observes

. Wellllll, if he must!?After the male Doctor fondled my testicles, he quickly said it was not Cancer, just a cyst. Relieved and humiliated at the same time.

He did send me for a sonogram anyway. The technician was VERY hot chick.

That made up for the Fondling from the Doctor.

Good catch finding the lump, now go get it checked.

Quoted:

I made 2 kids after having my right nut taken out followed up by 2 months of radiation.
*If you get your nut yanked, which is really no big deal- I wish they had told me to think getting the plastic replacement a little harder. Riding a horse was the most pain I have ever had in my life. The nutsack is designed for two. One by itself bounces around like a mf. Damnit that hurt. Never bothered me before or after, but if you ever want to ride a horse- get the plastic insert.

Either way, your gonna have to shave your pubs. Good times man.

I've cut the nuts off sheep, goats, hogs, really nothing to it. You could probably do it yourself at home, just don't fog the mirror when you fart.

happened to a guy I knew in school. it grew to the size of an orange in a week, went to the doc and had emergency surgery. If he waited one more day he would have died. Had in amputated and replaced with a silicone ball.

oh and dibs on guns n stuff
