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.

Could be a Spermatocele.

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have noticed a small lump in scrotum above the Rt testicle .

This could be mostly a Spermatocele ( Epididymal Cyst).However it can be confirmed only on clinical examination by a qualified Urologist and on Ultrasound scanning of the scrotum.

This is benign cyst and does not require any treatment .

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me I shall be happy to help you .
