Positive Cough impulse but negative ultrasound
Paul,
I am not a medical professional but I see there seems to be too many loose ends in your story. No doctor will recommend surgery after one simple ultrasound of the testes. Cancer is usually diagnosed with multiple scans/tests. One ultrasound to confirm cancer that warranted surgery and removal of your testicle? Sounds too fishy to me. If it really happened have you heard about words “biopsy,” “blood test?” Biopsy is done on a LIVING tissue to confirm cancer. Ultrasound cannot confirm cancer. It may show some growth or water in testicle but cancer? hmmmm… it could have been a hydrocele due to the lifting which usually happens in males.You probably have some other problem and you need to find out what it is. I am not sure when you said you are in UK whether you are in Europian country or some university of Kansas or such. But wherever you are, the doctor royally (if UK call it Kingly because the system still has that royal stuff, just kidding) screwed up the diagnosis that removed your testicle.
Time to rethink about the doctor who is attending on you. How on earth did you agree to go under knife without second medical opinion and blood tests? You said 2 years ago. Google would have helped you and if it didn’t at least one of your friends or relatives should have. You went to doctor, had ultrasound, found cancer and testicle gone in a jiffy? Oh oh, something seriously needs to be considered.
Read the sentence you typed here.. ” I developed pain in my left groin and testicle radiating down my left leg. After visiting my doctor he sent me off to have an ultrasound which showed testicular cancer in the right testicle and no abnormalities in the left side. I had surgery to remove the testicle which came back negative for cancer (ouch). ”
You had pain on left and it was caused by cancer on right?
I will have the doctor, scanning facilities and guys in court right away.
Having said that, please check with other specialists what exactly is causing your problem. Could be it another location hernia or inflammation?
