Just checked myself .. I may (hopefully not) have proven your statement. Will see doctor on Monday.

Thanks for the PSA

Good luck. It could be a number of things, but please do see the doctor soon.

And if you (or anyone else reading this) want to chat, get advice on picking a specialist, etc., I'm more than happy to talk - hit me up at ifktaotc7583@hmamail.com.

Good luck! I have had recurring epididymitis for the last 15 years or so, starting when I was around 19, and every time I wonder if it could be cancer, but it proves to be an infection that is treatable with antibiotics.

Well done booking the doctor visit straightaway. It took me weeks, and I was massively stressed the whole time.

How did you know it was epididymitis instead of a tumor?

The mass I have is right on top of the gland, but after an ultrasound it appears to be a tumor.
