Brief Answer:
Has the lump ever changed in size?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this discomfort that you have reported. This is likely not related to the lump and you should not be worried. Take a pain medication such as tylenol and all will be okay. There is no need to get too worried about this and more so because there has been no change in the size. Honestly, no need to seek for further medical attention. These are surely not related and probably a transient pain of no pathological significance.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.

no it has not changed size since I discovered it. what would u suspect the lump is. that discomfort has happened over the years from time to time for Maby a couple hours XXXXXXX so never took notice until this time. you would not think there is any chance it could be something like cancer ect.

Nothing like cancer!

Hi,

Thanks for this response. Certainly not cancer. Often the remains during the development process of the epididymis in the uterus.

I wish you well.
