Hi all
i’m new to this group, just thought I’d come along to find out people experience as I have been referred to a urologist urgently (within 2 weeks I should have an appointment).
Roughly 6 weeks ago I felt a very tender spot on my left testicle, which is no longer painful however a small, grizzly like lump (roughly pea sized) appeared over a few days.
I immediately contacted the GP, who sent me for an ultra sound. I had a phone call today saying they have referred me to a urologist as they found something suspicious - an increase in blood flow to the testicle
The lump is in my left testicle, however the scan was focused around my right testicle for probably 80% of the time. She did ask me where the lump was at the start but didn’t focus on the area too long - she did feel the lump also. Is this normal practise with the other testicle affecting the one with a lump on?
I’m hoping it is nothing to be concerned about, and am not too worried at this moment in time, I just thought I’d come on here to find out your experiences?
Many thanks for reading this
