What Causes Sensitive Right Testicle Along With Small Mass On Scrotum?

default
Posted on Mon, 29 Jun 2015
Question: I was performing a self examination of my testicles and scrotum and noticed a small mass in my scrotum above my right testicle (but /not/ connected to it). My right testicle has been feeling strange, a bit sensitive to the touch even (but only sometimes), and it seems "looser" than my left one, sometimes it will orient itself differently than the other. I also noticed that, when I ejaculate, I often have pain in my right, inner thigh, right between the scrotum and thigh. I was once diagnosed with a small hydrocele on the right testicle. A comprehensive STD panel, a CBC, a CMP, and a urinalysis were all unremarkable. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Brief Answer:
right and left testicles need not have to be perfectly same

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Self examination can cause apprehension sometimes. However, I want to say that anatomy of right and left testicles need not have to be perfectly same.

Anyhow, I would recommend urological examination along with scrotal ultrasound in your case as there is suspicion of small mass. But, I think that everything is okay with you by the information you have provided and do not be apprehensive.

Hope it helps!
