Pain/Lump in Testicle area- what kind of doc?
If someone is experiencing slight pain in the scrotum area and feels a lump, do you see a urologist? Or another type pf specialist?

Urologist--he will need to see an ultrasound tech first at a Zwanger type place to get some pictures of the testicles before the appt. My rec for you would be to see your general physician first to get an rx to have the ultrasound done

Thanks, I wasn't sure if it was a urologist he needs to see. It is my husband and we are hoping it is a hernia and not something worse...

Tell your DH it's very common. Mine had the same thing and it turned out to be varioceles (basically a cluster of veins that are harmless) Good Luck

Def a urologist. My FH had this a few months ago and I was worried sick and it was literally nothing, just some kind of inflammation. They gave him antibiotics just in case. It took awhile for him to feel 100% but I was so relieved. I hope it's the same for your DH.
