Good Day! Any mass in the testicle is a cause of worry. I would suggest getting a testicular ultrasound with doppler studies. I would want to rule out a malignancy or cancer. Other more common conditions would be spermatocoeles and epididymal cysts which are not a cause of concern.
Testicular masses and cancer usually doesn't cause pain and symptom would only be a palpable mass. Thank you very much.
