I am 18 years old. Three years ago i suffered from epididymitis, and as a result had to have my left testicle amputated. A few months later everything was healed, but i noticed a lump starting to grow on my right testicle. I went to a doctor and had an ultra-sound and he told me it was not cancerous and not to worry. For about 3 years i have had on and off minor pain in that testicle and the lump is still there. It is not growing, but it still concerns me. Is this a natural effect of testicular amputation or should I be worried?
Hello. Thank you for sharing your concern with us and for your trust. I would like to tell you that most of the testicular lumps are benign, noncancerous in nature and not serious at all . And in few cases malignancy is seen as well. As your doctors ruled out any serious issue earlier with diagnostic tests so first there is nothing to worry much.  As you previously had epididymitis, so there are possibility that this lump is epididymis cyst which does not require any treatment until and unless its painful. Other possibilities include conditions like hernia, varicocele, HY Chat Doctor.  If its causing discomfort in form of pain then I would suggest you to consult with your healthcare providers. Painful lumps which causes discomfort can easily be resected with a minor surgery if needed. Best Regards,
