Greetings,

How long the lump is there? How large is it? Is there any pain, redness or other symptom? Was any test done? Is there any significant past illness?

Regards.

Customer replied 343 days and 21 hours ago.

about five days that i know of, it is about two inches long and around five eights of a inch diameter. it is sore but not real bad i would say about a 6 on a scale of 1-10. i do not see any redness. there has been no tests done. and there is no past illness.

Thank you for the input.

This can be a cyst, commonly an epididymal cyst or spermatocele. If it is inflammed or infected it can be tender & cause pain & discomfort. The other probables are growth, vascular malformation etc. Spermatocele may only need watch & wait. As it is causing some pain and discomfort, I would advise you to get it examined by an urologist. If you have any query, please feel free to ask.

It will be my privilege to assist you.
Regards.

At home you can not do any thing without precise diagnosis. Only scrotal support can help. You should have a check by doctor.
