So... this is a slightly awkward topic so I made a "throw-away" account to ask it. A couple weeks ago while in the shower I felt a lump down below near one of the "boys" and made note of it. Just yesterday I noticed that it appeared to be slightly larger.
Now this could all be in my head, but regardless I do have a mass down "there" that now has me scared. With that said I hope to track down and schedule an appointment with someone by the end of this week if not sooner.
This is where I'm slightly clueless. Should I make an appointment with a urologist that specializes in something like this or just go to an urgent care at my convenience (I have horrible work hours)?
I can most likely get time off so it doesn't matter whom I go see. I just don't know what/whom to see. I'm utterly terrified but know that I need to check on this. I'd prefer someone in the Duke Health System since I work in Durham and that's not that far away (so it's more manageable for an appointment and then getting back to work). That or I can probably do with someone over by Wake Med of Cary since I live over that way. One or the other.
Thanks so much and I appreciate any positive advice you can give me. I have group insurance with Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC (my employer insurance) if that helps at all too.
