Hello all,
First of all I am new to this message board. I found a lump on my testicle two days ago and since then many questions have come up. My father is a survivor of testicular cancer so it is in my family. My question is this: As a child I had a hydrocele and a hernia. I was wondering if there are any studies done on any link between hydrocele/hernia and testicular cancer. Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction. I am going to see a urologist in a week. Whats the exam like? I read something about illuminating the scrotum, but what else is involved.
Thank You,
J
p.s. to all those people suffering, you have many people like you, who love you, and are with you. STAY STRONG!
