Important Information About Testicle Lumps

8. When to See a Doctor

Though a lump in the testicles can indicate a serious condition or benign side effect, it is always ideal to speak to a doctor when one notices any new growth, regardless of location. That being said, a testicular lump caused by a serious illness will likely be accompanied by other symptoms, including a heavy feeling in the scrotum, aching or pain in the abdomen or groin, or a sudden collection of fluids in the area. If you are at all concerned about the lump, if you experience other symptoms in the area or elsewhere in the body, or if the growth has not resolved in a week, make an appointment with a doctor.
