Hydrocele?

DS has told me he’s got a strange lump in his testicle that is a bit uncomfortable but not painful. Quick google makes me think it’s a hydrocele but is it worth chasing up with a GP just in case? I can be quite health paranoid but I don’t show it to DS so that he doesn’t worry

Yes it probably is worth seeing gp. Tory should send him to an ultra sound to confirm

How old is he? Keep a close eye that's it not a torsion as this can get serious quite quickly. If it's a very recent thing, it might be worth seeing advice out of hours. If it's been there a while it's less likely but act fast if it suddenly gets very painful.

He’s 12, oh dear, can torsion come of a consequence of this?
