Testicle cancer
Testicular cancer involves abnormal cell growth in the testicles, often appearing as a painless lump, swelling, or feeling of heaviness in the sc***um, and is most common in men aged 15-35, though highly curable if caught early through self-exams and medical checks. Risk factors include descended testicles, family history, and ethnicity, while treatment usually involves surgical removal of the testicle, potentially followed by chemotherapy or radiation, and often results in infertility.
Signs and Symptoms
• A painless lump or swelling in one testicle.
• A change in the size or shape of a testicle.
• A feeling of heaviness in the sc***um.
• Dull ache in the lower abdomen or groin.
• Sudden fluid build-up in the sc***um.
• Enlarged or tender breast tissue (gynecomastia).
Risk Factors
• Undescended testicle (cryptorchidism).
• Family history of testicular cancer.
• Personal history of testicular cancer in the other testicle.
• Age: Most common in young men (15-35).
• Ethnicity: Higher risk for people of European descent.
Diagnosis & Treatment
• Diagnosis involves physical exams, blood tests (tumor markers), and scrotal ultrasound.
• Treatment typically starts with surgical removal of the affected testicle (radical inguinal orchiectomy).
• Further treatment may include chemotherapy, radiation, or lymph node surgery if the cancer has spread.
Key Takeaway
Regular self-checks are crucial, as early detection significantly improves the excellent prognosis for testicular cancer, which is often curable even at advanced stages.
However, It is important to prioritize routine Health check up.
