I had a similar experience a few years ago, was felt up by a very attractive female RAF doctor which made it slightly better... Reffered for ultrasound, confirmed as just a cyst. It's still there, unchanged...

Better turn-out than one of my mates from school who had full blown bollock cancer, and after surviving that decided he was gay...

Go figure...

You know you can have surgery on the nhs to remove the cysts. Just ask your doctor, say it's causing pain/discomfort/embarrassment and they will remove it. Obviously there are small risks associated with the surgery and you'll be sore for a while after it, but if the cyst is large or causes pain then it might be worth it.

I've always wondered what a lump on my nuts would actually feel like, I can never tell of its supposed to be there or not.

is it an obvious sort of lump that stands out? or do you really have to rummage about for it?

At least it will only hurt half as much when you get kicked in the spuds :)

Glad everything turned out well. My wife had a cancer scare last summer - she noticed a lump on the side of her throat and they seemed certain it was cancer before they had even done any tests. Turned out to be a cyst. Even then they wanted to whip it out just in case. It put us in a difficult position. There was a slight chance (less than 5%) that it could be cancerous, but because of its position and the wife's medical history, there was about the same chance of serious complications from surgery. Fortunately, 12 months on and it has all but vanished.

The wife also went through a similar mental process to you - she decided to donate a very large sum of money to a charity she cared deeply about.

Anyway, all the best!

Reading this at work and thinking of nipping to the loo for a feel.

Thanks for sharing and raising the awareness. Well worth a donation for your insight at least :)
