What Causes Small Pebble In Scrotum Near To Testicle?

I found a small pebble in my scrotum, very near to my left testicle. It appears to be mobile and almost free floating and is often difficult to find. I would say it is "in" a tube connected to my ball but not neccessarily on the ball itself . Doesn't hurt unless I psych myself ...should I be worried, are these symptoms typical for testicular cancer?

Hi What is your age?
It could probably be an Epididymal cyst which is a fluid containing cyst in the cord connecting the testicles to the inguinal region. They usually do not lead to any problems and do not require any treatment at most times. It does not look like cancer but you can get it examined by a Surgeon who would be able to tell you whether anything needs to be done about it or not.
An Ultrasound of the scrotum would easily be able to diagnose what it is.
Do not worry. Get it checked and be tension free.
Take care,
