So earlier this year I felt a small tiny bump on my left testicle. I got it checked by the doctor and she said she didn’t think it was anything, but prefers an ultrasound anyways. The next day I go in for it and.... the ultrasound tech couldn’t find it. Not with the machine or by hand. She asked me to point it out and I couldn’t find it either. Ok... not exactly comforting but not particularly scary either. So I didn’t really get a “all clear” but it disappeared so whatever? Well I have anxiety about it, and I’ve been able to find it again. Now I know there’s a lot of lumps and bumps people get on their balls, but I don’t want to assume it’s skmething harmless without good reason. I ended up going to the doctor again for a completely unrelated thing (blood test for diet related things) and had her check again. She said she didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary. Now like I said, I’ve been able to find it, I can find it right now. It’s on the upper backish side of my left testicle. It’s not painful, but if I prod/pinch it it will hurt like I got hit in the nuts.
Another thing that I don’t know if it’s related or not is I lift, and my doctor said I need to chill with the heavy lifting because essentially on my left side she said she felt a weakness (like hernia related; I had a right side hernia in 1st grade). And I definitely can feel that weakness occasionally, not sure if it’s relegated to this testicle thing
But anyways, if it WAS cancer, surely the ultrasound wouldn’t have missed it? And it surely wouldn’t have been there, then disappeared, now is back? Just like that? Like I don’t get it.
