hi all im new here,im glad to found this supportive forum,i hope if somebody can advice me correctly i really dont know what do more.
I accidentally noticed a lump on my testicles,lump is rice sized maybe half rice, or pin head , its really hard as rock,lump location is on top of the testicle,but not at epydidimis,just next to it,its looks like is attached to testicle.
I immediately went to the urologist for examination and ultrasound,doctor was able to palpate lump bit not concerned at all,and did a ultrasound scan an US show nothing,apsolutley nothinq,my testicles are healthy without lumps.
next few days i went to next specialist ,for exam and US scan, this second doctor also can not find anything on ultrasound,and he told me ,to not worry.
i again booked new examination by a doctor next specialist and ultrasound ,same thing, he found small cyst on testicle itself but i think he is not sure if it was cyst,nothing suspicious and he told me im ok.
then i booked finaly my last US exam at next urology specialist with last gen ultrasound device.
he felt my lump but on ultrasound my testicles are perfectly fine without any cyst or lump on testicle itself.
doctor was very kind and he is tried to find my lump on at any angle and position,exam was last 30 min trying to find spot,no issues ,no patology all perfectly find.
i done all tumor markers and all clear.
sorry for long story,but my lump is there but US show nothing and all doctors specialist told me this is not cancer and not to worry.
my questions are.
my lump feels like on surface of testicle not epydidimis,i read online that lumps are on testicle are most likely bad.
can i have cyst on testicle surface and still to be benign?
does ultrasound is able to catch that kind of lumps?
doctor said that testicles is 100% visible on US? and if i have something he is able to catch it.
can testicular cancer missed by ultrasound?
can i belive my doctors and move on with life?
sorry for grammar errors,im realy under huge stress while typing this question.
thanks in advance,god bless you all.
I have had this swelling for almost 2 years and it seems that it has grown a little more. I've read about testicular calcifications, but I don't know how they feel to the touch.
what are the chances (%) of developing testicular cancer at age 17 with no risk factors?
when I search on google everywhere it only gives me cancer and I found that "90% of hard intratesticular swellings are cancer" in my case the swelling comes out of the testicle. if it is caused by the trauma from 2 years ago, what could be there to keep it from disappearing?

You are doing what all of us do and that is speculate and beat yourself up mentally. No one on here can give you the answers or facts you need to see your GP and get checked.
Yes the rule of thumb is anything outside the testicle is not cancer as there is no such thing as scrotum cancer. Please book in with your GP or even try A&E if you wish
I don't have the swelling in the scrotum (the swelling doesn't move), I have the swelling right at the testicle (it comes out from inside the testicle). is this cancer what else can be a small and hard nodule coming out of the testicle that doesn't move at all?
