What Causes Lump That Appears And Disappears In Scrotum?

Hello, I have a lump that comes and goes on my scrotum. No pain, no itching, when it appears its only for about less than a minute and when it goes away it kind of dissolves back in to my scrotums. Is this normal or do you have any idea of what it could be?? Im a bit worried. It cant be cancer right? since it "goes away"...

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Its inguinal hernia which causes a lump without pain and goes off.
2.It generally comes when you are standing and lifting heavy objects / sometimes even just standing - with the intra abdominal pressure this thing causes.
3.No its not cancer or any thing similar - do not worry.
4.But needs attention, the lump you are feeling is bowel - web gets strangulated its an emergency.
5.Go to GP and get ultrasound inguinal and scrotum done - the doctor will check with cough reflex, and get the needful treatment - its operative , mesh placement.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
