What Causes A Lump In The Scrotum Of The Left Testicle?
Question: I am 45 yrs old! I found a lump on my left testicle way down towards the bottom. It is near a cord like stucture. The lump is in my scrotum on my testicle. I have no pain or swelling or anything else.Quite obvious after searching the internet you hear about all of these horrible horror stories and I know that I feel somewhat outside the age limit I know that the lump intestine is on the lower one I'm a short individual and not told I don't really fall into any of the typical categories. But of course I'm still nervous.
Brief Answer:
Based on the description you provided, I think that the cord like structure
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Based on the description you provided, I think that the cord like structure could be varicocele, which is slight enlargement of some blood vessels (veins) in that region. However, many other things that are common in that region like inguinal hernia, hydrocele, testicular tumors, gland enlargements etc need to be ruled out by thorough physical examination.
All you need to diagnose it perfectly is a physical examination by a general surgeon.
Thanks
