Questions to bring to your visit
- When did I first notice the lump?
- Has it changed in size or feel?
What happens at your visit with us?
Our urologists examine the testicle and usually order a scrotal ultrasound, which is done in our building, with blood tests if needed. The visit is private, and you can ask anything.
When should I call us?
Call us within days of finding any new lump, swelling or change in a testicle, even if it doesn’t hurt. Sudden, severe testicle pain is different: go to an emergency room. If you also notice breast tenderness or swelling, mention it at your visit.
How do our urologists approach this?
Our urologists tell you plainly what they find. If cancer is a concern, Advanced Urology plans treatment with you, and preserving fertility is part of that conversation.
Our urologists, physician assistants and nurse practitioners see adults from Alpharetta, Roswell, Milton, Crabapple and Mountain Park at our Alpharetta / Roswell office.
