Does Painful Lump On Testicle Indicate Testicular Cancer?

I have some sort lump on my left testicle. More like a thick tube that is swollen that start at my left testicle and leads up to my penis. It s painful, as if I had blue balls. I have experienced blue balls but never had a lump like this. Is it something I should be worried about? Is it possibly testicular cancer?

hi..testicular cancers usually occur at 20 to 40 age group..mostly they will be painless testicular swelling..hard in consistency..u may be having non malignant conditions too like varicocele that is enlarged veins of testes, epididymoorchitis ie infection or inflammation, even hernia too.. kindly consult a surgeon and get ultrasound of scrotum done.. never go for a needle biopsy even when a doctor advises.. if someone adviced biopsy consult an oncologist before biopsy as biopsy upstages cancer from 1st to last stage..
