How to Perform a Testicular Cancer Self-Exam
Men between the ages of 15 and 35 can increase their chances of finding
testicular cancer early by performing monthly testicular self-exam.
Ideally, the testicular cancer self-exam should be performed after a warm bath or shower. The heat causes
the scrotal skin to relax, making it easier to feel anything unusual on the
testicle.
Self-Exam Guide:
Examine each testicle gently with both hands. The index and middle fingers
should be placed underneath the testicle with the thumbs placed on top. Roll the
testicle gently between the thumbs and fingers. One testicle may be slightly
larger than the other. This is normal.
The epididymis is a cord-like structure on the top and back of the testicles
that stores and transports sperm. Do not confuse the epididymis with an abnormal
lump.
Feel for any abnormal lumps - about the size of a pea - on the front or side
of the testicle. These lumps are usually painless.
Testicular Cancer Self-Exam Results
If you do find a lump, contact your doctor right away. The lump may be due to an
infection, and a doctor can decide the proper treatment. If the lump is not an
infection, it is likely to be testicular cancer. Remember that testicular cancer is highly
curable, especially when detected and treated early.
While routine testicular self-examination is important, it cannot substitute for a doctor's examination.
Your doctor should examine your testicles when you have a physical examination.
You can also ask your doctor to check the way you do testicular self-exam.
It's important not to let fear or embarrassment keep you from not checking
yourself on a regular basis, or contacting the doctor if you notice anything
unusual. Remember, if testicular-cancer is caught early, chances of survival are great. It's your life
you're dealing with, don't let embarrassment or shyness stop you checking. Make
sure that you regularly perform testicular cancer self-exams.
