Knowing the signs of testicular cancer helps with early detection, which is essential for effective treatment. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men.
Signs to watch out for:
• Lump or swelling: A small, painless lump on one or both testicles is often the first sign.
• Changes in size or shape: One testicle may appear larger or feel heavier than usual.
• Aching or discomfort: Some people experience a dull ache or sharp pain in the lower abdomen, groin, or testicle.
• Fluid buildup: Sudden fluid buildup in the scrotum can be a warning sign.
• Back pain: In more advanced cases, testicular cancer may cause lower back pain if it spreads.
The best thing you can do is get familiar with your testicles on a regular basis (go on, have a feel). If something doesn’t feel quite right, consult your GP promptly.
