My son had his 8 months check and we have been referred to Kings as the GP said he had a lump in one of his testicles. I am not panicking or googling because google can be evil sometimes but does anyone have any experience about it? I am just putting it down to fatty tissue or something.

I presume the hospital will just have a feel and do a scan?


Thanks

Having seen families bringing their little boys in with similar to paeds ED, think having a look and if needed a scan will be done - what they might do is try shining a pen torch at the lump to see if it's solid or fluid filled (alot of these turn out to be hydrocels - fluid filled harmless cysts).


Am sure your GP has advised you on signs to watch for, but if there appears to be sudden swelling/it looks red and is painful to touch then either return to GP or attend ED.

Jam - my son had a lump on his arm for some time and we also panicked but it ended up being fatty tissue (they thought!) and told us we must let it be and it should disappear .. thankfully it did just that. ps, he was in ICU so we were with the specialists and they definitely said babies are born/develop all sorts of fatty tissues amongst other things and they did also say definitely don't panick but get it looked at so you can get some sleep.

Hopefully its all ok :-)

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
