I don't. I'm afraid I might find something. It's not easy anyway.. looking for a lump in a bag of lumps

I get a fit of bravery every so often and run the old fingeroony over the bollocked area. Then feel safe for another few months until I run into a thread like this.. :mad:

ballbag cancer is the only cancer that truly puts the ****s through me. It's a funny thing.

My left one is bigger than my right. I think its because i keep sitting on myself but now its about the size of an egg. Bloody awkward.

Jesus get that looked at!
I didn't think people would find it difficult to fondle themselves. To me it seems a bit like having a phobia of crossing the road, you might get hit by a car.

The daffodil Nurses are the finest bunch of nurses ever. Had experiences with them when both my grandparents were dying and they couldn't have been nicer or more supportive. I always give during the daffodil campaign!

GOOD! That was one of the reasons I started it, and I bet you weren't the only one!

Larianne · 28-03-2012 10:35PM

I check my breasts every month when its that time of the month.

In need of a smear. Will see if my college health service does them tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder!

DeVore · 28-03-2012 10:43PM

Got a full blood work-up done last month and a sexual health check done 4 months ago. Good aul rummage every now and then too.

Sure you'd be mad not to?

Teyla Emmagan · 28-03-2012 10:47PM

Thought I had a lump in my vadge once. Turned out to be my cervix. I was only 14, in my defence.

Probably shouldn't have been rooting around so much :cool:

It has, I believe one of the highest survival rates of any cancer. If I *had* to choose one cancer to have that would be pretty high up the list. Pancreatic cancer on the other hand - now that scares me sh1tless.

Yep always go for the smears. It's one of those horrible things women have to do but its worth the 5 minutes of uncomfortableness to know you're ok. I've had abnormal cells and so have 5 of my friends thankfully was nothing too serious. The amount of women I know who have never had a smear test done is ridiculous:eek: You only have to look at Jade Goody to see how quickly cervical cancer can take over.

Em getting a speculum inserted into your vagina when you are not shall we say lubricated. It's certainly uncomfortable for me

they're meant to lubricate it.

Really? I've always found it uncomfortable anyway tend to be sore after but I guess not everyone is. But all I was saying is that some people are afraid to get it done in case it does hurt or they are too embarrasssed which is silly.

My GF mentions the word 'scraping' - I'd imagine that is uncomfortable.

I haven't had a smear, but have had an STI check which uses a speculum also, and the sore part for me was 'opening' up the speculum. for years my mother always said that getting a smear was 'uncomfortable', and I took this to mean painful, which always put me off. but one day I asked what she meant by uncomfortable, and she said it was just uncomfortable spreading your legs in front of a nurse.

I just think it was worth having that explained. I mean adding a fear to the procedure by saying it's uncomfortable doesn't help. and i don't quite get this embarrassment, I mean how many women spread their legs in front of a man for sex or oral? it's not for the same purpose, but it's the same thing, if not less judgmental.

They use like a big cotton bud thing to take away some cells it can be a bit sore. She could be talking about a colposcopy which is done if you have abnormal cells. Now that was bloody painful!

superstoner90 · 28-03-2012 11:15PM

Id check the owl ball bag, but honestly I dont know what im checking for. What size would it be or where exactly should I be checking.

The way I see it, why bother if I have no idea what im checking for.

Thats my honest opinion aswell.

I think if you are tense it's going to be more uncomfortable and I would be quite small down there so that prob doesn't help either:o but it wouldn't be painful at all and definitely get it done it only takes 5 minutes and then you might not need one for another few years.
Oh and I think it depends where you go in my experience some people are more gentle than others like for blood tests etc too!

I wasn't tense, and I am very small too. I will be getting it done anyway, I just think people talking about the pain or discomfort of these things puts off others from doing them.

superstoner90 · 28-03-2012 11:22PM

A quistion for the lads, To be honest im not sure exactly what im looking for down south. Is it a hard or soft lump ect.?
