09/12/24 - The practice is currently experiencing teething issues with our new digital IT system. This is causing our computers to be intermittently non-functional including faults with our printing facilities. As a result of these issues, consultations may take longer than expected causing appointments to be delayed on the day and increased waiting times, and there may be issues generating prescriptions and obtaining test results. NHS Lanarkshire IT department are aware of the issues we are experiencing and are working hard to resolve the issues. Please be mindful of these difficulties we are experiencing when contacting the practice and attending your appointment. Thank you for your understanding.

Testicular lumps and swellings

Testicular lumps and swellings

Lumps and swellings in the testicles are a relatively common symptom in boys and men, and can have a number of different causes. The vast majority of testicular lumps and swellings are caused by benign (non-cancerous) conditions that may not need treatment, but it’s important to know what’s normal for you and to see your GP if you notice any changes in your testicles so they can try to identify the cause.
