Dear Ryantravisaol

i think the lump on your testicle is a condition called Vericocele, if you are not sure with it, try to do self examination whether there is dark vein on your testicle, sometimes when the lump is occur . The reason why im saying this is because usually the lump will only occur when its warm, especially during hot weather . Actually you don't have to worry too much as this problem can be cure by surgery if you were see a doctor.

I have a lump that feels 'attached' to one of my testicles. My doctor is sending me for a sonogram which is scheduled for 1/9/2012, today is 1/3/2012. Do you have any advice as to what I should make sure the doctors do to properly diagnose this? I'm afraid of losing the testicle if I don't have to and other misdiagnosis. Also, if it turns out to be cancer, do I have to lose the testicle or can they treat me with other means, means also barring radiation? Thanks
