Lumps around testicles
On behalf of Megan:
My boyfriend has had lumps around his testicles for awhile, I have told him to visit his GP on numerous occasions but he has refused due to embarrassment. What causes lumps and swelling in the testicles?

Re: Lumps around testicles
These sound like epididymal cysts
An ultrasound would be useful
there are other options like varicocele.

this is useful
Best to get it checked
The GPs are used to this and will be reassuring

Re: Lumps around testicles
Around 96 out of every hundred men who find an abnormaility down there and go to their GP will have a common non-cancerous condition which should be fairly easily identified by a short examination or if needed an ultrasound scan of the testicles. GPs will have seen many men in the same situation so there is really no need for embarrassment.
