What does lumps in your testicles really mean?

Asked By: SuduceMadusa 18-21, F 5 months ago

My bf just told me he might not go on deployment if he has what he think he might have.he's on underway so he called me off his shipping phone. He didnt wanna tell me then so he texted me this morning &told me he think he might have prostate cancer. He says he has lumps in his balls. He alsobeen having major back pain for the last 3months. Could this mean anything? His dad also had prostate cancer in 2010.

Is This A Good Question? (2)

There are many different things they could be, some serious and some not. I developed a few lumps on my testicles and my urologist sent me for ultrasound. They turned out to be harmless cysts.

Your boyfriend should see his doctor and get a referral to a Urologist. He will probably be sent for an ultrasound. I'm sure not a doctor, so that's the best advice that I can give

Tuberculosis of the Prostate. Usually mis- diagnosed as Hydrocele. Check if he has had evening fever in the past few months.

evening fever is a symptom. He has to rush for medical attention. Else it can impair his *********** ability. This is not time for home-medication.

Prostate and testicles are not the same thing obviously. I wonder why he is connecting the two with one condition. I would just wait for test results before worrying about anything. He may be confusing his epididymis for lumps. Or it could just be a cyst which is not a health risk.

Oh well I don't know the difference. I'm just starting to do some research.

My husband won't have sex with me that much anymore....wonder if it has to do with my lumps my lovely lady bumps or maybe he's just not that into me anymore. Oh well I'll continue to live in denial anyways and tell myself otherwise...that he still loves me very so..even though we don't "trust" each other very much anymore.
