I Found a Lump... Here's What Happened Next

FREE eBooks/Audiobooks

===
Today's a more serious episode of Aussie English where I decided to talk about my recent health scare.

Before going to bed the other night I discovered a lump that I'd never noticed before in one of my testicles. I was terrified it could be testicular cancer like anyone who finds a sudden change down there.

Here's what I did next and what the result ended up being.

My main reason for posting this is to spread awareness about male health. Guys

- Check yourself on a regular basis.
- Be wary of any changes that you notice.
- If you notice something different, see your GP immediately.
- It may be embarrassing, but embarrassment is better than the potential alternatives.

Cheers!

-Pete

Thanks for the video. I appreciate your honesty regarding the initial panic. I found a lump a week back and am waiting for an ultrasound. Videos like this and from survivors have really helped. 9:08

Good to hear that nothing to worry. Thank you for sharing all these. I really understand the panicking there.

LOCATION of the Lump is what is important! What you should look for is Lumps ON the testicle itself, i mean that grow from the testicle surface itself on a random spot, those are the bad boys... Lumps that are at the top are 99.99% of the time from the Epididymis (the squishy sperm "tentacle" stuck above/behind the testicle), those are SPERMATOCELE CYSTS (or just simply hardened part of the Epididymis)... most men will have one or two of those spermatocele cysts sooner or later.... the worst it can get (rare) is it starts to grow & hurt alot.... nothing to worry about....

So glad you have the courage to make this video and make males aware of this. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Thanks for the advice.

I thought I was the only one who gets concerned with testicular health and starts overthinking. :(

[LeviAckerman-gcph]

Its soo terrible feeling I can't even explain, I was kind of sure that it's cancer, and the fear was eating me from inside, I got my USG report today it's a mild cyst. I do understand everyone's fear and if anyone if facing this fear right now I know I can't help you to reduce ur fear but I will suggest you to check it up as soon as possible and please don't search symptoms in Google or anywhere in internet it will just increase your anxiety.

Hey guys. Lots of you are commenting saying you have pain or lumps you've noticed. If that's the case, please see your doctor ASAP. Don't ask me for advice. I'm not a doctor. All the best!

Hugely helpful, thanks for taking about it! There’s not a lot of advice like this on YouTube.

Damn brother thank you for this video I was about to sleep I felt this on me I instantly thought it was cancer I did research and continued to think it was cancer I am going to go get checked tomorrow

[fanfan_the_haitian]

I have found a lump on my right testie a year ago. I have gone to get it checked twice and had an ultrasound and so far, both doctors told me they don’t see any cancer. I am 35 and I’m probably going to get my testies checked every year. I’m hopeful that it will keep being nothing more than a benign cyst. Be aware of you bods my guys.

[mamymimma]

I'm happy for you, I do understand your fears ❤

[BrandonFloyd]

Happy for you mate, I’ve got an ultrasound booked for the same thing 🤞🏼Hopefully I’m all good

Thanks so much for sharing your story, indeed you are a life saver.
I experienced the same thing as well, just one fine day i was self examining infront of the mirror, i felt a stony like lump on my right scrotum, on the spot i thought it was a testicular cancer, then i was in my first year @ Nursing school in my Country, and i called a friend of whom i met at the hospital during my first year clinical placement. He is a urologists, he examined me and he told me it was a benign scrotal cyst, let me do the ultrasound to clarify, it was the same thing after the ultrasound was done. Then he ask me to give it time hence it was not paining and less serious, all of a sudden the cyst disappeared, but still my right scrotum is larger than the left which am not comfortable with, unfortunately my doctor have returned to cuba he is the only Urologists i trusted in that facility, funnily i cannot afford to trust some of them, which is a disadvantage we have here in my country, now i am wondering if i am safe to live with this till i get to USA, my dream country to practice nursing after graduation, this is one of the reasons why i want to do masters in Urology almost 2 out of 10 in my country have such a problem and they will keep hiding it due to many factors. This motivated to write a study about men health as my Final dissertation in Nursing school. Thank you once again.

I'm 22 and last year I found a lump on my right testicle, the doctor said it was a benign cyst, I had an ultrasound but with 2 young woman so was nervous but they checked both and said that it's nothing thank god. Go and get yourself checked no matter how embarrassing it is

I'm sitting here the morning after operation of my left nut, for the past 3-4 months I've had this growth on my left side and it was starting to cause me pain in that area as well as in my stomach, I went to my dr and she told me it was epiditimitis and gave me 2 weeks of antibiotics that didn't touch it, so we scheduled a ultrasound and found a mass, a cyst, a something anyway so it was onto the urologist who shined flashlights through it like show and tell about how the fluid glows inside and the possibility of taking it out because its causing me such grief... here I am 2 weeks later. Less than 24 hours post op, they took out a lipoma a fatty tumor they say anyway, haven't put my hands anywhere near it to see for myself if the little demon is there anymore, one thing is for sure if there is one body part that I do have right now is my left testicle its making itself well known to my brain and has been through the night. Take care of yourselves.
