Hey guys! There's this weird, small, hard bump on my testicle. Not on the skin or anything, but on the testicle itself. It feels like it would look something like this: This is something I've had for quite some time. It seems as if it disappears, then reappears. This has been occurring for around 7 years. I haven't felt it for quite some time though. It doesn't particularly hurt, but the only reason I even bothered to feel around today was because my testicle was aching slightly. (The ache shortly subsided.) I saw a doctor about it years ago, but it wasn't "present," so to speak. Should I bother going in again? - Zulu
Yes I would go and get it checked, it could be a symptom of testicular cancer, or it could just be an abnormality. Better to get it checked out so you can be sure.
I'd say, if you are worried about it, have it checked. If you previously saw a doc for this problem, but the bump wasn't there when you actually saw the doc, the doc may not have seen the problem. Or, the problem may not be anything to worry about. In general, if you are asking of you should see a doc about something, the answer is probably yes, even if only because you have found something about your body that your experience tells you is unusual. Also, pretty much any problem that there may be is much much more manageable if it is found early than if it is left to get worse.
