    question

    About two months ago I noticed a small lump on the lower side of my right testicle. I went to the doctors and he ordered an ultrasound, the ultrasound results were negative and showed no mass but a small hydrocele on my left testicle.
    The weird thing is I still feel a small bump on my right testicle sometimes it feels attached but other times I cannot feel any sign of it almost like it dissapeared. Do you think that the ultrasound may have missed it? how reliable is an ultrasound? I have heard that these tumors have a good amount of blood flow going to them and are hard to miss. I guess I am just really paranoid do you think I should just let it go or get another ultrasound done?

    If it wasn't picked up by an ultrasound you should be good.
