Hi,Iv had a fluid filled syst for 25 years.

Here's a tip for you check yourself.

Get a tourch,shine the light through your sack/lump if the light shines through the lump you can bet its fluid as mine was.

However if its dark and light won't shine through get to your Doctor ASAP. Hope this helps and good luck.

You could check for bunions by putting your foot in your mouth

The tourch idea was suggested by a Doctor on the radio 20 odd years ago.

The doc did that with my son after his testicle got to the size of a golf ball... Had it removed in the end as it was cancerous

No but had one in my boob which was pretty scary as my mum was only in her 30s when she had her breast removed due to cancer.

Was nothing but a worrying time go get it checked asap...

Firstly, don't panic!

Fortunately, most lumps turn out to be non-cancerous, but like anything in life, the sooner something is diagnosed and treated, the less likely there are to be long term consequences. And self-reassuring tricks may delay seeking proper help and diagnosis.

Would be highly cautious about the torch rule; or any other "reassuring" self diagnosis trick. A fluid filled sac may mean a tumour underneath or somewhere else. Also, be cautious of using the internet; the internet is an unchecked resource, and for every truth there is a lot of bullshit (see also: the Daily Mail...).

Men are traditionally very bad at seeking medical help, traditionally present late and the low profile of male-specific cancers compared to, say breast cancers or non-gender specific cancers mean that knowledge is low. And, as we all know, knowledge is power.

So get checked out, and then help spread the word about male cancer - go to malecancer.org for more info.

And my heart goes out to everyone who has been affected by cancer.

I Am speaking from my experience I also went to my doctor and he referred me to a specialist.

Women are encouraged to check them selves out.

Men can feel them selves,why not shine a light as well.

At least its making the effort to check.

It doesn't matter if it's "boring" if it brings you comfort/support, and for all you know it might save someone's life so definitely not boring in my opinion!

The use of a small powerful light isn't 'a trick', its current medical practice as a first stage examination.

Hydrocele is quite common and harmless, typically diagnosed with the 'torch trick' by your GP, although it will/should be followed up with an scan.

That's my point - the torch trick should be followed up by a scan, through the GP; people should be cautious of "reassuring" tests because they tend to delay seeking help which in the few non-harmless cases cause problems.

But anything which makes people more alert to what their bodys are saying can only be a good thing!
