I've had this terrible fear of testicular cancer after my dad got it and I was sure id get it too. So I check my balls once a month and 7 months ago I felt what was like a vein, I've always sort of skimmed over it as I assumed it was part of the normal area. Well after googling tonight that the testicles should be completely smooth other then the tips I now believe what I've been feeling is actually a growing tumour.
I'm going to try and explain it the best I can because it isn't as easy as "it's a lump".
Basically the testicle on the right has what feels like a line/vein/piece of string starting in the centre of the top of it, the top isn't the tip, it's the top as In the outside, the curve. So when I run my finger upwards, this sort of lifts the line and when I move my finger away, it falls back down again. If I run my finger over it without squeezing, it's basically smooth other that what feels like a very very thin line leading to the tip of my testicle.
If I squeeze the scrotum the "line" is actually visible through the skin and if I squeeze hard enough will protrude. The line is white and looks like it's in the shape of a fingernail.
It's odd right? It doesn't sound like your usual "lump" and my testicle is fine, not swollen, painful or hard.
So do you think what I'm feeling is normal and google is just trying to scare me?
Sure the balls aren't completely smooth lol no one can be that perfect....? Right?
Thanks everyone.
