Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I have some concerns and I am wondering if anyone has any thoughts, similar symptoms or ultrasound and blood test results, either to help put my mind at ease or brace me for a reality.
I noticed a hard painless lump on my right testicle after 2-3 days of a dull ache in April 2018. I went to the doctor and was referred to ultrasound in May 2018 which confirmed a 3mm x 6mm mass; tech report is unsure of exactly what they see or exactly where mass is located, "possibly adjacent" to testicle.. One month ultrasound recheck is scheduled on June 21 and urologist appointment is scheduled on June 15. Blood test was 243 LDH (110-230), 5.5 AFP (<8.4), <1 HCG (<3).
I have had very bad on/off lower back for many years (sciatica / piriformis syndrome), occasionally feeling some of that pain radiate from my back to my testicle if it was a really bad day, or if I just tweaked it the wrong way. I have some lower back pain now, nothing compared to my worst days, however the dull ache has also returned to my testicle over the past 4-5 days which is adding more concern to this issue for me.
I am a father of 3 girls with number 4 on the way. I want to be as proactive as possible to deal with this in the event that something is wrong, not only for myself but also for my wife and kids. Any feedback is appreciated, or even suggestions or questions for the urologist that I should ask at my appointment on June 15.
Thanks!
