I'm scared

I've felt a lump deep inside my scrotum. It doesn't seem attatched to my testicles, but rather my penis(the part that's inside my body). Like, it seems it's sort of behind my testicles, sort of in between them and feels like it's inside sort of, if that makes sense.
It's in such a weird spot that even if it's been there my whole life, I probably could of not noticed it. I was reading about some stuff and I'm thinking maybe it's one of my cowper glands or something? The cowper gland is roughly the size of a pea, and that's what this is...and it seems sort of "inside" my body.
While I had an erection I was kind of just doing my normal thing, had my hand on my balls and like I said, sort of in between my nuts, a tiny bit further back, I felt this thing.
I'm so worried. I haven't been able to sleep. Doesn't testicular cancer actually attatch itself to a nut or the side of the scrotum? This seems attatched to the penis part inside my body if that makes sense. I'm so worried if it is CANCER. I'm going to have to get needles and obtrusive surgery and just...ughh...I'm crying thinking about what could potentially be the problem.
help please

well, you should probably go see a doctor... nobody here is going to be qualified to tell you what it is.
once you know, you'll either be relieved or you'll be able to prepare yourself for what's ahead, depending on the outcome. But it's better than crying and asking for advice on the internet.
Hope all works out well

I too have a small lump near my right testicle. It just feels like a pea and never causes any pain. I'm fairly certain it's just an epididymal cyst, because it has never gotten any larger.

I have had several ultrasounds because of scares about lumps that just turned out to be varicose veins. I talked to a lot of people about it and most of the guys I spoke with who had actual cancer said it never felt like a lump. They all described it as simply being swollen or not feeling quite right even though they couldn't place what was wrong. Just know that you don't have to feel a "lump" to be concerned.
From that first notice, symptoms can progress very rapidly. Not meaning that it is any less treatable or that the cancer spreads rapidly (though it does) but that from them noticing something wrong until it was swollen to the size of a ball you play billiards with might only take a week or two.
Bottom line is see a doctor. Testicular cancer is one of the most easily treated now if caught early. My mother is a nurse and about 6 months ago she had a patient in his early 30's that felt that his testicles were swollen, but kept putting off seeing a doctor. When he finally went in 6-7 months later, his body was riddled with cancer and he died a very painful death.
