Q Hi, i have a small growth (about an inch length) under one of the balls under the penis. It is not growing for the last 4-5 months which i can feel by touching. There is no pain, but it is constant there. I am worried whether it will lead to hernia or any?
Hi Sunil, your concern about the growth under testes can be understood. It is good that after observing you are not neglecting it, even there is no sign of pain. This may be a cyst, which is made of tissues. Few times body shows response to an infection which may cause cysts. If it is soft in nature, it may be filled with fluid or air. Hardness of such growth shows fibrosis or semisolid material. Related with spermatic cord spermatoceles are formed as cysts. Such growths may not lead to hernia, as it shows protrusion of testes and have much bigger size. There are less chances of puss in it as pain is absent. Most of the times such growths can be treated with oral medication. Few times curretage and resection is needed. Also cauterization, cryotherapy are other options. Kindly do not worry and go for proper medication by a surgeon. You will get rid of it soon. Take care.
