Testicular cancer

[Farleigh1]

Hi. A while ago i researched testicular cancer and found that most lumps on a testicle are most likely nothing. I have done some more research and found people, including doctors, stating that lumps on a testicle are almost always testicular cancer. This is in total contradiction to what i read previously.

Can anyone shed some light on this please.

When i refer to lumps on the testicles i refer to lumps on the testis (actual ball) and not anywhere else in the scrotum.

Thanks.

I think the contradiction is because of the definition of a "lump". What a guy at home might consider a lump is what the doctor maybe know is supposed to be there.
