Hi,Welcome.Based on the facts of your query,the lump above testicle you have,seems to be INDIRECT Inginal Hernia/or Epididymla Cyst /or Spermatocele/Varicocele/Lipoma of the Cord.The possibility of it being Spermatocele or Epididymal Cyst is less and seems to be INDIRECT INGUINAL HERNIA,as you have clearly submitted that -
a-there is a bit of string connecting the limp to the testicle
b-and that lump is not directly on the testicle but connected to testicle
b- and that you feel the lump on the testicle further on the top of the testicle.
Investigation-
USG study of the lump would show,air bubbles and fluid levels of the intestines,and would differentiate Indirect Inguial Hernia from the other lumps quoted above.
Hope this would help you to plan further treatment with your doctor.
Will appreciate your Hitting thanks and writing excellent review comments to help needy patients like you.
Welcome with any other further query in this regard.
Good Day!!
