how do I tell if I have a third testicle and not a tumor?

you can have a third testicle but it should not have just appeared. Go see a doctor, do not allow them to perform a biopsy, if the cells inside the tumor are cancerous cutting a piece out will allow them to spread inside your body. If it is a tumor have the whole thing removed. Also testicles have a soft fleshy mass attached to them where the mature sperm is stored, feel all three and if one feels different then good chance it isn't a testicle.

Symptoms can include an obvious swelling beneath the skin of the abdomen or the groin- it may disappear when you lie down and may be tender, a heavy feeling in the abdomen that is sometimes accompanied by constipation or blood in the stool, and discomfort in the abdomen or groin when lifting or bending over. Testicle pain can be due to a number of things including infection or inflammation of the epididymis (epididymitis) or testicle (orchitis), injury to the scrotum, impaired blood flow to the testicle due to twisting of the spermatic cord (testicular torsion), a stone in the lower ureter, which can cause pain in the testicle on the same side as the stone, tumor, or fluid in the testicles, such as due to a varicocele, spermatocele or hydrocele. Please see your doctor for an exam and testing.

My wife had one 3 years ago and doctors left it.  It turned out to be cancer and she is still fighting it. DO NOT HESITATE GETTING TREATMENT BECAUSE IT MAY COST YOUR LIFE AND YOUR KIDS WONT HAVE A MUM

A kick to just one testicle, would be a low possibility that he is sterile, since he would have one that is not injured.  The only way to know for sure is for him to get a semen analysis done.

Depends on what is ur age? if u know that they are sperms then there is no need to worry as it a sign of puberty. But if u r so small and doubt it whether it is sperm or not then better contact ur dad and seek his advice.

I don't know if it is normal, but it is not unusual.  This often happens. There should be no immediate concern unless you have had an injury to it; or, if it has lumps or it is painful. In either case have a doctor check it out as soon as possible.\n\nBy the way you only have one ball sack (scrotum), but you probably have only two balls (testicles). (Some lucky guys have three testicles.)

it might be because of your 3 testicles

Well, each testical has, by definition, one. Most guys have two of these, though some have one for various reasons (usually and accident) and a few guys have three.

Sure, don’t worry!\nIt just is an anatomic factor where the left testicle can be greater and longer.\nThere’s no exact reason for that and somebody think it’s a way to avoid their collision during our movements.

learn to spell.  All computers have a spell checker. \nAnd yes, there can be cancerous tumors in a man's testicles.  All males who are past puberty should do a testicular self-examination, at least once or twice a week, preferably after a shower.  Ask your doctor to show you how.

Hi there - I had CIN III and had to have LLETZ surgery to remove it - since I am an extremely nervous patient with anything to do with "that area" they put me under general anasthetic - having CIN II or III does not mean you have cancer or anywhere near it - it means you have cell changes which - left untreated - could one day turn to cancer - you are been treated though so have nothing to worry about - they laser out your bad cells and normally this does the trick - you go back to normal by your next smear check - on the odd occasion where the fisrt time doesn't work you go back again, remeber though - you are unlikely to get cancer - those who DON'T get checked out are more likely to.  I had my last one 5 weeks ago and I have to say the biggest ball ache of all has not been able to have sex with my fella!!! I bled for about 10 days - I had pain in my belly but only as bad as period pains and I still feel the odd twinge now and then - I have had the all clear from my doctor and now have to look forward to a smear in March to see if for the first time in 9 years I might get a NEGATIVE smear!!!!!!!!  fingers crossed!! \n\nGood luck with your surgery - its not pleasant - anything down there is never pleasant at the doctors, but it is bearable and you will be fine!!

Women tend not to feel a STD and usually can be asymptomatic for a very long time. Trichomoniasis can also be missed by healthcare professionals during routine and sometimes not so routine medical exams. Under a microscope Trich looks like a White blood cell. Unless the doctor is looking for this the lab only stumbles across it when fresh urine is examined and the flagella of the trich is motile or moving. One patient I dealt with had a long history of negative STD work-ups but did have abnormal PAP smears where were non cancerous, but the cells were odd looking. While working in the lab I discovered motile Trichomonaiasis since the urine was very fresh and the flagella was moving rapidly, not to mention seeing many of them. After a pathological consult the abnormal cervical cells were believed to be caused by the parasite Trichomonisis vaginalis. The patient had benign abnormal PAPs for almost 2 years. Health people who take good care of themselves in general and have a strong immune system fight off the parasite for a long time, which makes a person asymptomatic. As for a male symptoms usually show up pretty rapidly. Hope it helps.

Typically, during the day, the testicles will enlarge slightly and after a good sleep they will reduce. This has more to do with blood flow and related factors than any kind of illness or problem.\n\nHowever, if things are bulging out in the area or the penis as well as some swelling, it could be a sign of an inguinal or lower abdominal hernia and a quick check by the doctor will confirm this or refute it.\n\nWhile it could be normal, it would definitely be wise to get ti checked just in case.

some male testicles are larger than the other one..\nhe may have mildly stretched it some how, causing one to swell some.as long as there is no discomfort, I might suggest that he calm his activities down some for a while. if it keeps up, see what a doctor says.

Your testicles should be about the same size. One often is lower than the other, which is more a reflection of where it is at in the sperm producing cycle.

Testicular cancer can be caused by any type of cell found in the testes, but more than 95% of all cancers are from germ cells. (Germ cells produce sperm. They are not pathogenic; i.e., they are not to be confused with the "germs" (viruses, bacteria) that cause illness.) In general, the remainder of this article discusses germ-cell testicular cancer.\n\nGerm-cell tumors are classified as either seminomas or nonseminomas. Seminomas are slow-growing, immature germ cells. Seminomas, when found, tend to be localized (i.e., only in the testicles), simply because they spread relatively slowly. Nonseminomas, on the other hand, are more-mature germ cells and spread more quickly. (Nonseminomas are classified as one of three or four subtypes; their rate of spread varies somewhat, but they are treated similarly.) When seminomas and nonseminomas are both present (which is not unusual), the cancer is classified as nonseminoma.\n\nA case of testicular cancer is categorized as being in one of three stages (which have subclassifications). Stage one is that in which the cancer remains localized to the testicle. In stage two, the cancer has spread to the nearest lymph nodes, which are small, bean-shaped structures that produce and store infection-fighting cells, in the abdomen. In stage three, the cancer has spread farther, to locations that may include the kidneys, liver, bones, lungs, or brain. The majority of cases are stage 1 when first identified; stage 3 is relatively rare.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testicular_cancer
