Testicular cancer? Help! is it?

[Liu Z]

i felt some hard veins like feeling structure towards the back on my testis , its on the ball and at the side , its not round , not pea size , u cant really c it , u can oni feel it , its hard like a vein .it gets softer when the testis is softer and smaller, is it normal? i have none of the syntoms of TC.

question
1. Can a testicular cancer lump be in other shape other than round or peasize?

2. the side tat i felt tat is smaller than the otherside , can the side wif cancer be smaller than the other side?

3.my testicle look fine and oval in shape , its even more ovalish than the right 1 .

4.i heard theres alot of veins and arteries surrounding the testicle , do u think tats wad i felt?

5.are the testicle wif cancer hard ? can it be soft? mine are soft sumtimes and hard sometimes especially after masturbation.

do u think i am normal? thx , most probably not cancer but i still have to ask .

i think i felt tat b4 and went to many doctors, they did'nt mention anythin

I had testicular cancer when I was 15 and survived... I only have on testicle but I am perfectly capable of having children and I am normally sexually active. Don't let this be a wall, go and get tested (go see a Urologist just to be sure) and catch it early like I didn't... Good luck...

I know exactly what you are talking about. Those "hard" vein like structures are mostly the vascular infrastructure of your testes. There are also tendons in there which can be hard or soft depending if they are contracted or relaxed.

If you think you might have a cancerous growth I would not hesitate to visit the doctor.

But everything seems in order to me.

If in doubt go to a doctor, rather safe than sorry.
