Re: small pea sized lump on left testicle

Any lump on the testicle which you have noticed for the first time should be taken seriously. And checked out. The chances are that what you are feeling is the knobbly attachment of the sperm duct or epididymis, at the lower end of the testicle but don't assume this. If the doctor is in any doubt you can have a quick, non-invasive ultrasound test which will clearly show what the lump represents and what, if any, action should be taken.
