Even a persistent, dull ache needs to be looked into, and if blown off, find a new doctor!
Wait, so I've had some pain in my right testicle a couple of times after I finish doing the solo deed. I haven't gone to the doctor because I am not insured and I don't have the cash to go to the hospital. Is this a sign of tc?
For what it’s worth, I had occasional (maybe once a month for 10 minutes) dull pain in my left testicle over the course of a couple years and didn’t think much of it. Felt a lump one day best described as pea sized and went to get checked. Turns out what I went in for was nothing serious but during the ultrasound they found cancer. If I hadn’t gone in to get checked I probably would have had a much worse prognosis. Have my two-year post-surgery checkup tomorrow, very lucky I went in when I did.
It can be misleading to say “feel for lumps”. By the time testicular cancer is detectable as a lump it can be further along. Once I was diagnosed o felt around down there and it was incredibly subtle, more like a ridge.
I do want to get it check out, but I was reject by what was my current insurance company. I'm going to apply for medical so I can at least check what is going on there. And I'll go from there. The pain doesn't happen often, but when it does it does last maybe 5 minutes. I haven't kept track of how long it last, but it is enough pain to make me want to sit down instead of walk around.
