testicular cancer/ache?

[BubblegumUK]

Hi,

I keep getting a random achy pain down below, usually around my right testicle, it comes and goes, lasts usually a couple of minutes and then goes away again, but comes and goes numerous times a day. it seems to be more noticeable after i've urniated and when i've been sat down and stuff with my legs crossed.

I'm not sure if i'm imagining the pain because yesterday i didn't feel it all day until the evening, ( i was busy doing stuff) and the other day i thought about it for a moment and then noticed it, but then sometimes it comes when i don't think about it :/

It doesn't seem larger than normal, everything is working fine in both areas, no blood, no pain when i hold them or squeeze them, no problem going or anything, its just i get this achy pain and i'm becoming really obsessed by it, i keep checking it over and over again, and i know its the worst thing i can do but the longer it lasts the more convinced i am i have cancer.

I was checking for about 10minutes earlier, i couldn't find any lump but i know i was searching for a lump, i eventually found something but i'm not sure if it was a vein. I know there is a part called the epidiymus which feels like a lump, but its not that. I've had the fear of testicular cancer many times and have been checked many times, but its the weird ache i get, it can't be normal and i'm getting really freaked out.

I seem to be down the doctor almost every week with one thing or another and i'm scared if i keep going back they aren't going to take me seriously, miss something and then that'll be it :(

has anybody else had this weird achy pain thing? i've had it about 4 or 5 days, i'm trying to think if i pulled myself down their whilst at work, which would have been about 4 or 5 days ago but i can't remember. i'm trying to be rational and relaxed, but the longer it lasts the more anxious i'm getting.

Thankyou

Dave

Hey, if it's just pain and not larger than your other testicle that's only a good sign.

For the pain, do you cycle or anything excercise? I sometimes get achey testicle when I cycle without padded shorts which lasts for 2 weeks, went to the doctor too.

Could even be a urine infection that's causing the pain, especially after you've urinated. But I'm no doctor :P that's what the doctor suggested to me when I went with testicular pain.

My other half always gets one achy testicle- it's fine. I suppose it's like us women with our achy boobs. If it would put your mond at rest you could go to the dr but I think you're fine.xxxxx

Thankyou both, much appreciated. No i don't cycle, but i lift a lot of heavy boxes at work and their is a lot of bending and stuff, so maybe its that?! I dunno. Its reassuring to hear that testicular pain can be normal though. I'm
At work atm, i started getting the pain again and i couldn't help but check, then i found a lump and so for the next hour was panicking and going really insane that i had testicular cancer, i googled a diagram of the testicle and to my relief discovered that their is a base of the epididymus too, i only thought their was one at the top. After feeling how mine felt in comparisson to the diagram i feel more assured its NOT a cancerous lump. I'm trying to relax about the pain, was much better today until i got to work :/

Thankyou both so much x
