Re: Health Questions

Hi there

A normal testicle should feel smooth without any lumps on it. There is a small structure behind the testicle called the epididymis which will feel like a soft tube and attaches to the top of the testicle. It is commonly described as feeling a bit like scrambled eggs. This is normal. Any abnormality which does not feel normal should be checked out as soon as possible by a GP. Most men who are diagnosed with testicular cancer first notice a small painless lump attached directly to the body of the testicle itself.
