What are the reasons behind?

What are some reasons for a lump behind a testicle?

• My husband found a pea sized lump behind his testicle. He just had a vasctomy and it is almost right behind one of his scars. The other scar has no lump behind it. He is also peeing out some blood. The doctor said he needs an ultrasound. Does it sound like scar tissue? Cancer?

• Answer:

  there could be many reasons...The incidental finding of a scrotal mass may also require evaluation, findings could include testicular torsion, epididymitis, acute orchitis, strangulated hernia and testicular cancer,Referral to a urologist should be made immediately if one of these diagnoses is suspected. Benign causes of scrotal masses, including hydrocele, varicocele and spermatocele, may be diagnosed and managed easily in the primary care office. I am guessing tho that what you have will be nothing more than the scaring due to your surgery if you are peeing out blood that may be signs of something else, kidney trouble, bladder, or could be that you just over did it after you had your vasectomy..Good Luck, but I wouldn't worry to much about it at this point..
