Weird lump. Testicular cancer?

The lump is at the bottom of my left one so i thought it might just be part of the epididimis(sp) but the lump (pretty small, so far) comes and goes, which is really weird because sometimes i can feel it and sometimes i can't. its really starting to worry me. i'm only sixteen so i'm right in the age area where it is easier to get testicular cancer. but it doesn't run in the family at all.

Please no sarcastic answers, though, because i'm really serious and really worried. but besides saying to have a doctor check it can you give me suggestions on what it could be? i'm way to embarassed to ask my mom or dad to bring me to the doctors because they would definitely ask questions.

Please help.

No one can give you an answer unless they are a doctor, take this lump seriously because it could be something serious. Don't be embarrassed to talk to your parents because it could save your life. A nurse told my son that there was nothing wrong with his testical, and now he has testical cancer and he is going to be a very ill young man of 26 and he had a lump. Best of luck and God guide you to the right decision.

maybe its a clogged oil porefrom your nut hair? and telling your age woulda helped if your that worried go to the dr no matter what your mommys seen it lol

Yeah I know u don't want to hear it, but go to a dr. There is no one on this site that can diagnose ur limp without seeing it. It could just be a lump. I had a boyfriend who had one, just a lump. But it could be something more serious, and u need to have it looked at just in case it is more than just a lump, maybe it is a small hernia. If it were to be cancer, chances of survival r better if it is caught early. Tell ur parents. They would probably rather take u to the dr than wait and see.

it would be wise to go to the Dr.my husband went to the Dr. for a pain in his stomach , not related to the lump they found while giving him an exam, which was found to be testicular cancer, the day after the exam he was scheduled for surgery,cancer can spread fast, even if you can't feel the lumps
