I don’t really know how to start this. I’ve never talked about it with anyone. Not my friends, not my parents, no one. For the last 3–4 years I’ve had a lump on my left testicle, kind of at the bottom or lowest part. It doesn’t hurt normally. The only time I feel pain is if I press it hard. Otherwise it just feels like it’s there. I’m 20 now. I first noticed it when I was around 16 or 17. At that time I thought maybe it’s nothing and it will go away on its own. But it never did. And somehow I just kept ignoring it. I feel really ashamed and shy even writing this. I don’t know why. Maybe because it’s such a private area and I feel embarrassed talking about it. I don’t even know if this is the right sub to post this in. I just saw another post here and somehow got the courage to write mine. I’m scared it could be something serious, but at the same time I’m scared to go to a doctor and talk about it. I don’t know how to tell my parents either. I feel stupid for waiting this long. Has anyone experienced something similar? What should I do? I feel confused and honestly kind of alone with this. submitted by /u/Aggressive_Offer5715
