A reminder that early detection can make all the difference. šļø
Do you know what to look for? The first sign of testicular cancer is often a painless lump or swelling around one of the testicles. Other things to watch for include:
⢠A feeling of heaviness in the scrotum
⢠Changes in firmness or shape
⢠A dull ache or sharp pain (less common)
A testicular self-exam takes just a few minutes, best done during or after a warm shower. Check for any lumps, changes in size, or unusual firmness. If something feels off, don't wait. Schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider. When caught early, testicular cancer has one of the best outlooks of any cancer type.
