3 testicals

[ishytbricks]

If you cough and your testicals bounce up that means you dont have cancer right?. Cuz i have a small ball hanging from my left testical attatched by stringy stuff and its not like a knot its like a small ball. my friend has three testicals could that be what i have?.

[Mzor203]

Are you sure your friend actually has three testicals? Or is that simply something he says?

Either way, your best bet is to see a doctor, it could be nothing, but better safe than sorry.

Yeah his mom even told my mom. She frased it as a extra skeet sack?.
But i go to my doctor sometime this week for a check up and im gonna bring it up to him.

But i coughed and my testicals bounced up and it doesnt hurt or anything. So hopefully its not cancer right?...

[sunsings]

i think i am the same thing!!!!! oh big is the ball????

[ishytbricks]

no its just like a small ball hinging from my left testical like its attacthed to it but its not like a knot.

Does it hurt when you touch it? If it does, then it's definitely something you want to get checked out.

Actually, either way you definitely want to get it checked out.

[sunsings]

if you do get it checked can you PLEASE like SUPER PLEASE pm with what the doctor says it would help me so much!!!

[ishytbricks]

No it doesnt hurt at all; like none.
But yea im still gonna get it checked out.

[ishytbricks]

like i noticed it about sometime last year and i just figured it would go away and it hasnt its stayed the same. it doesnt hurt or anything. Its like its just there.

Yeah ill tell you but you should get yours checked out too cuz you could have something totally different then me dude.

[sunsings]

ya i know but i think it might still help plus i really dont want to talk to a doctor... grr i hate them lol

[ishytbricks]

Its not that for me its just im sacerd if it is something bad..lol

But like i said it doesnt hurt me at all or anything. So i hope its all good.

[sunsings]

i am kinda nervous to and scared about my problem but i keep pushing t out of my mind cause i dont want to tell my parents oh have a doc near me :(... i kinda have a phobia of them :D which is kinda bad...

Ok, first of all the whole testicle bouncing p if you have cancer thing, I dn't think that's true. Where did you hear that from? Because cancer should not do that to you, un;ess the cancer is in your testicles I guess, but not for all types of cancer. And I really suggest you get that checked out. but it might be nothing, to me it sounds like something this kid I knew had. He had extra skin sticking out around his ear (the hole to the ear). It hung out and it looked like a very tiny ball (the size of several grains of sand) attatched to a short strand of skin attatched to his ear.

Im gonna get it checked but that thing ur friend had was it serious or did the doc say it was okay?

OK, there's a better chance of you getting abducted by aliens then getting testicular cancer right now, so relax. Cancer is detected by a large, unmistakable growth on the side of the testicles, you can't really miss it. If you feel your testicles individually, by rubbing them slowly between your index finger and thumb, you'll now feel a smooth, hard surface, with a string or cord at the top, and a small bump where the tube inserts into the testicle. Most often, if there's a mass there it's called a hydrocele ('water growth'), which, although requires treatment, sounds nastier than it is. Cancer there typically occurs later in life, rarely in early adolescence.

If you feel soemthing else in there, it could be something else, like veins, sometimes extra veins ('variocele'), which might need to be removed, but again, not life threatening.

Your friend cannot have 3 testicles. His mother is either misinformed, or is describing perhaps another condition usuing a shorthand that makes it sound nicer.

The coughing and bouncing thing only tells the doc if you've got a hernia, it's the way they check for that.

Tell the doc what's going on, let him take a look, and reassure you.

okay good i hope its not cancer!!!!!! I hope its not anything serious. You made me feel alot better. Ill post what it is when i get it checked out so everyone will know and yeah my dad said his mom is pullin my moms leg cuz theres no such thing and if there was he would be in the Geinust Book of world records or something like that...lol

But i hope its nothing serious. Ive been sacerd.

that was a really good post but there is one part i disagree with actually. testicular cancer is not uncommon during puberty and right after. "Testicular cancer is one of the most common cancers in young men between the ages of 15 and 35" quoted from http://www.cancercenter.com/testicul...20090125073609
This is not to say it is cancer, or that its common but it doesn't typically only occur in older men. And just so you know if it was, which it probably isn't. Testicular cancer is among the more treatable types of cancer. I bet its no bug deal though :)

[ishytbricks]

okay good.

well what could it be ??

[Trav]

Your better off just going to a doctor to get it checked out than asking people on here

[Axellance]

its probably some sort of non-cancerous growth, let the doctor figure out what it is though, always better to be safe then sorry!

Yes, well said! The chances of it being something nasty are statistically veeeery slim, don't worry about it.

Let us know what the doc says.

[ishytbricks]

Okay i will.

[Donkey]

No need for my comment now, but your friend was lying when he said he has three testicles.

[wavey]

U probs have found the epidulmya or w.e u call it its the bag of sperm that come from the testicles and has a tube leading to the penile shaft. :P

and wtf about coughing and balls? my balls dont bounce around when i cough.
