I found a lump on my testicle: what should I do?
By Advanced Urology ·
What's the short answer?
Don't wait.
Many lumps are harmless cysts, but a firm lump in the testicle itself can be cancer.
Testicular cancer is most common in younger men and is very treatable when found early.
When is it an emergency?
Sudden severe pain means go to the ER now.
When should you see a urologist about this?
Get checked within days.
How does a Norcross visit go, step by step?
Norcross and Peachtree Corners patients are seen at our Lawrenceville Clinic & Surgery Center on Crown Pointe Way. Lab draws, imaging and procedure rooms share the building, so the visit can cover questions and testing together.
What is our plan for Norcross patients?
Norcross patients facing a cancer question get time to understand the findings. Our urologists explain staging, active surveillance, robotic surgery at Crown Pointe Way, radiation and hormone therapy, and how each may affect urinary, sexual and bowel function.
How do Norcross patients get ready?
Norcross patients find it useful to arrive with a medicine list, any reports from other doctors and two or three questions written down. If you prefer to discuss things in another language, mention it when you call.
Which signals mean you should ring the clinic?
Phone (678) 344-8900 if your symptoms shift, side effects appear or you would like to review results again. Let us know you are coming from Norcross so we can plan your Crown Pointe Way appointment.
What else do Norcross patients ask?
What else do patients ask?
Do Norcross patients keep one clinician?
Norcross patients usually stay with one urologist or physician assistant at Crown Pointe Way, and the team shares notes when another clinician joins your care.
Where do Norcross patients go for imaging?
Imaging and lab work happen in the same Lawrenceville building as the clinic, which keeps trips down.
How do I explain my symptoms if English is not my first language?
Let our scheduling team know when you call (678) 344-8900 so they can talk with you about language support for the visit.
Peachtree Corners men ask how fast BPH medicines work. What should I expect?
Some notice an easier stream within weeks. Our Lawrenceville team follows up to adjust the dose or talk about procedures if relief is slow.
