I had an left Orchiectomy perfomed around 20 years ago. I was told by the surgeon post op that he had had difficulty removing all of the testicle but "had got most of it out". Since then I experienced what looked like something hanging into my scrotum which would sometimes retract above the scrotum and couldnt be seen. I had discomfort from the area with slight discomfort radiating into my lower abdomen. As the years progressed I found a small hard area to the left of my naval developing whIich causes discomfort radiating into my back if this is pressed. I have had CT scan and being told they cannot see what the hard area is on the scan and it has been left at that. I now have bloating and radiating pain all over inside my abdomen and this hard area is now much bigger. Told by doctors that because nothing shows on CT then it is muscular. (physiotherapist report has declared it is not of Muscular or Skeletal origin) This last year I'm now feeing sick all the time the hard area (lump) seems bigger and being told the latest CT scan the hard area does not show up yet you can feel it when pressed. I am now no longer eating no appetite, feel sick and got stabbing pains in my abdomen.
I have googled and found the following, "Growing Intra-Abdominal Mass after Radical Orchiectomy"
Can anyone advise please.
Hello raytrev . I'm not from this group but I noticed your post has slipped through without reply. By giving your post a bump it may attract attention from someone with experience of this.
