Found two lumps.

[Aday83]

Hello, I’m 39 I found two lumps in my scrotum not on my testicles but inside at the base of my ureathra it feels fairly hard the other one is below it at the bottom of my sack. No pain except from where I’m constantly checking them. I can get an erection fine and urinating is ok too.
Aww a doctor today and she tried to feel but I’m so squeamish that she gave up and has ordered blood test tomorrow and an “urgent� ultrasound.
Obviously I’m worried but I’m trying to be. The only thing making me worried is that I read cancer lumps are hard and this feels fairly hard.
Anyway thanks for reading.

There can be any number of things that can go on in the scrotum but you are doing the right thing in having it checked out quickly. Glad to hear that they ordered the scrotal ultrasound and let us know what the results say.

Wishing you all the best.

Ok here’s what my scan showed up.
;
Both testes appear normal in size, shape and echotexture with parenchymal Doppler flow noted. No evidence
of intra-testicular focal lesions or orchitis.
The right testis measures 45x23x34mm
The left testis measures 47x22x28mm.
Both epididymides appear normal with no obvious focal pathology detected or evidence of epididymitis.
No hydrocele noted.
Prominent serpiginous veins seen within the pampiniform plexus bilaterally, largest vein diameter measuring
2.6mm in the left hemi-scrotum and 2.5mm in the right hemi-scrotum. No evidence of bulging or significant
reflux on patient performing Valsalva manoeuvre. Appearances are keeping with varicocele.

Personally I’m thinking that the varicocele have been there for years and it’s the lump that made me get a scan. The practitioner wasn’t sure what the lump was he said could be a pimple but he scanned it and it’s not anything sinister.

I’m going to look into home remedies and a shake up of my lifestyle choices. This last year I have been sitting like 16 hours a day and although I’m not overweight I would bet money it’s what has caused the varicocele (or worsened them) in any case I’m going to monitor the lump and hopefully it will go away over some time.

Thanks for reading I hope this helps someone else who has similar problems.
