hello
Thanks for your query.
The bump you had on the top of testicle since last 6 years is most likely to be what is called as Spermatocele ,
However final diagnosis can be confirmed only on clinical exxmination.
Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical assessment.
Spermatocele is a benign cyst and can be left alone.
