Q: I have swollen right side around my right testicle, I had an ultrasound done, no cancer.

I have swollen right side around my right testicle, I had an ultrasound done, no cancer or pain.There are like large lumps feel like additional testicles. I have had for several years now. One time I was taking monthly testosterone shots and they all but disappeared. Urologist I saw said I could live with it or have surgery to remove them. I would like to know what caused it and is there anyway to shrink them without surgery. I have no health ins. now at age 64.

Mr. Cromwell - I can understand your concern about these lumps. I am not a physician but if I were in a similar situation I would be pursuing other opinions until I felt that the condition had been sufficiently explained and the treatment options fully outlined. If you have access to a university medical setting I would contact them to see if they could be of help.
