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 Dang. That reminds me that I really should get this done to myself.
I hope I can remember to call my GP Monday. I'll put it in my calendar... -

@GossiTheDog This post is a public service message that might save lives. Thanks for talking about it. So glad you are fine.

@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

@GossiTheDog excellent opportunity to say "sorry that might have been my fault, I shouldn't have reported this vulnerability yesterday"

@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!

@GossiTheDog My balls are also fine, I was recently happy to learn. Hoping the hydrocele resolves on its own, if not I guess I just have one bigger, squishy ball from now on. Not uncomfortable, so it's whatever.
Thank you for helping to create a supportive environment to discuss boy parts issues.
@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😬

@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.

@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.

@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 no hashtag for your #sagaofmyballs?

@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 👍

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 😂

@paul do it, then!!!

@evan I would like to see the same poll without people as an option because it is naturally a biased response. Of course, people should come first. I am curious if people would want self-contained products, protocols or platforms
-
@stefano OMG!!!

I made a vain attempt to challenge the majority in the comments, but I have to agree: it's the people who matter. Everything else comes after.
-
@Gargron Why?
I think it's a mistake. You, of all people, can bring people here. But they need to be able to hear/read you for that.

yes, crypto doesn't have a great reputation - but I think this is the type of think it was actually designed for - small transactions, low cost, fast.
But adding a level of difficulty for now.Maybe just start with tracking and self reporting.
Then add the "pool of money" distribution part. Relatively difficult given the global world, and the not so global currency/ banking system.
But someone like #Wise might be able to help with that
