For anybody following the saga of my balls, the good news is they don’t think it’s cancer.

@GossiTheDog Here's hoping everything stays benigh. And, Microsoft. lol
A lot of guys don't know that a Testicular Self-Exam (TSE) is recommended once per month
@paul @GossiTheDog @blogdiva Count me among the “lots of guys.” Another thing many don’t know: *Everyone* can get the HPV vaccine.

For anybody following the saga of my balls, the good news is they don’t think it’s cancer. I have highly unusual balls I’m told, where there’s about 15 small developmental cysts on each that are just chilling and have probably been there a long time (from fetal growth).
Also don’t be afraid of getting your balls checked out, I had three ultrasounds and all were painless and not embarrassing. I have a ton of funny stories too, eg the Windows ultrasound box rebooting for security updates mid scan
@GossiTheDog I can't wait to yeet mine 😂

@GossiTheDog I want an orchi so bad

@DragonDrop Testicular hydrocele can over time begin to ache. Relief from any discomfort can be achieved by sitting in a ‘sitz bath’, a warm shallow soak for 10-20 minutes in either plain warm water of with additives like epsom salts. From one who knows😬
@CharlieMcHenry Thanks! Do they usually go away on their own?

@DragonDrop not in my experience. In newborns, yes… in adults, no. So you’re likely stuck with it. Regular sitz baths are the gold standard - bathe those babies. If it becomes a problem, there are surgical interventions available. But those are for the small % that become problematic. Not an uncommon problem in males btw.

@CharlieMcHenry Thanks. I'll take it as a sign that we should consider including a jacuzzi tub in our upcoming bathroom remodel.

@GossiTheDog I had a scan recently - all was fine - I did find it awkward
I mean - I don't like having my haircut.
Having that kind of chit chat with my bits dangling wierded me out.
But it was so so much better than lying in bed awake at 3am thinking I was going to die of ball cancer
Well worth doing
@sean @blogdiva @GossiTheDog I went through the same thing about 15 years ago. It was awkward for me, too, but not horrible, and it’s definitely worth the peace of mind.
I highly recommend getting your balls checked, if anything seems unusual.

@GossiTheDog Good call on getting the boys checked out. I had a cyst on one testicle that grew to the size of... a testicle. It was like I had three balls. Like The Man with the Golden Gun, but much more masculine than having three nipples. Benign and removed without issue. At the New Year, I said "I have one less testicle than last year, and I still have two!"

@GossiTheDog @burnoutqueen glad to hear your balls are going to be ok 👍

You haven’t lived til you’ve seen an ultrasound doctor do this while scanning your bollocks
No disrespect to your balls, but at least you haven't had to have an ultrasound for ovarian cancer, which is an *internal* one.
(And I hope you stay healthy, too.)

@GossiTheDog
So not related to the spider incident. That's always a plus. -
@GossiTheDog I was not quite ready to read this specific sentence as the introduction to a toot today.
@christopherkunz @GossiTheDog And I am looking forward to you translating that toot on your podcast 😂

@GossiTheDog right you are!
Mammography is a bit of pain, but ha ing your tits touched by your loved one to check if everything is ok is priceless.. i mean, painless!Prevention, prevention, prevention!
@signorina37 @GossiTheDog When I got my balls ultrasounded, the doctor asked how I noticed if anything was different.
Me: “My, uh, spouse is the one who said something felt different and encouraged me to get them checked.”
🤣

@GossiTheDog I recently found out about Dermoid cysts, and they can supposedly also appear on testicles. Your balls could be more special than you think...

@GossiTheDog yes. Always listen to your body. If I feel weird things going on I see the doc.
