A guy recently walked into my clinic with his girlfriend. He had felt something in his testicle months earlier. She found out and dragged him to see me.
I did a physical exam and confirmed what I felt with an ultrasound. The lump turned out to be a benign cyst, not cancer.
He leaned over to her and said, “See. I told you so. I’m fine.” I told him he should thank her instead as this visit could have gone very differently.
Most testicular lumps are not cancerous, but some are. And the only way to know is to get checked. When a man waits, he delays care — often for something a physician could clear up in minutes. Or a doctor could find something that could save his life.
