      <title>AFP levels</title>
      <description>recently I saw the doctor regarding discomfort in my left testicle. No lumps were present, and after telling him I had recently begun lifting weights, he told me it was probably epididymitis, and that I had forced urine into the epididimis from straining. To rule out cancer he had me get a blood test, and my AFP level was 1.4. He said this was elevated and that I need another test in 2 months. He also said the epididimytis could be responsible for the levels being what they are. So, is it time to panic or am I getting excited over nothing? The waiting has been tough, and I'd appreciate some other opinions. Thank you very much</description>
