I think I'm gonna die!!!

Hello I'm 19 and recently I was checking my testicles and noticed my left felt a bit sore near the top and I kept feeling all round to see if I could find a lump but I couldn't afterwards the back of my testicles felt sore which went away after a few days now I've got a dull ache on and off in my groin and I'm really scared I have testicular cancer what should I do?!

Hi - your concern and upset is totally understandable. 

Have you had a look at the information on menshealthforum.org.uk/male...? This may give you a starting point but ultimately you should think about going to your GP for a check up. 

The great thing is you have addressed this early and you're taking action.

Well, the good news is Testicular Cancer normally doesn't hurt so it probably isn't cancer.  You should go get it checked though in case you have an infection or a vein is pinched but pain is a good thing when it comes to whether or not it is testicular cancer or not.
