Testicular Cancer: Know the Signs, Catch It Early

 

 

Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men between the ages of 15 and 35. While rare overall, it is highly treatable, especially when caught early.

Symptoms of Testicular Cancer:

  • Lump or swelling in the testicle
  • A feeling of heaviness in the scrotum
  • Dull ache in the groin or lower abdomen

Self-Exams Matter: Men are encouraged to perform monthly testicular self-exams to notice any changes early. Don’t wait to talk to your doctor if something doesn’t feel right.

Treatment Options: Treatment may include surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. The prognosis is generally excellent, especially when caught early.
