When i was seventeen I went to the doctor with a lump on my right testicle. I had an ultrasound and a blood test. They diagnosed it as a hydrocele. The lump is actually on the testicle and about half the size of a pea. The lump is still there today, with no pain unless it is hit. Now I have an even smaller lump on the left testicle and it is more painful, mainly when hit but can have a dull pain that comes and goes. I also have noticed a lump in the thing that attaches to the testicle on the right side.  I have an apointment with the doc next week.My questiion is, Is it possible they could have diaged the first lump wrong? Its been 10 years with no change. Is it normal for a hydrocele to last that long? and is it possible to actually be on the testicle?  Also is the small lump on the left one any chance of being cancerous?  it is about the size of a pencil point.  thanks for any info nygiants Wed, 19 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT I'm not ceratin if a hydrocele can last 10 years, but if it was a cancerous tumor, it would have grown by now - so no big concern there.  As for the pencil point lump on the other testicle, I have to say that is really small - I'm surprised you've even noticed it.  Again, only way to find out is with an ultrasound so I hope the Doctor orders one for you - you need to see him as soon as possible.  Let us know how it goes!
