Thread: Scared.

    Scared.

    On my right testicle i have a "Bump" or "Lump", its connect to the testicle and its at the end-side. It's about the size of a pea and its has like veins connected to the teste and the lump. But its not like that on the left teste, when i lightly squeeze it, it doesnt hurt, but i get that "Stomach" feeling on the right side. Im only 14 so i dont know if it can be cancer as i may be too young. It's bothering me and i havnt stopped thinking about it for days. Thanks.

    Just so you know, here is how to do a self exam:
    http://www.tc-cancer.com/about/self-exam.html

    You've found something on your right testicle that isn't on your left? You need to tell your folks so they can get you in to see a doctor. It may be nothing to worry about, but the doctor needs to figure that out for you. While it will probably not be TC, you can't take that chance. It's far better to see the doc now & have it be harmless than to delay & find out it was TC.

    Hope that helps,

    It could be one of many harmless things. Many guys have some kind of junk on their junk. Like Dave said, tell your parents so they can set up a doctors visit. We know this isn't an easy thing to talk to parents about. You can tell them you found something suspicious while doing a self-exam like you heard about in Health class. If you were my kid (mine are older than you), I would make the appointment right away. You are probably due for a physical anyway, and probably ready to graduate from a pediatrician to a regular family physician.

    Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

    Smile I can relate.

    I am only 18 and telling my mom was weird to say the least. But they are exactly right. Get it checked out. It is definitely worth the awkwardness.

    NEVER GIVE UP,
