Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer is an uncommon type of cancer that affects the testicles in men. It typically begins as a small lump in the testicle, but can also cause other symptoms such as a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum, increase in size of a testicle, and a dull ache in the abdomen. It is important to diagnose and treat testicular cancer early, as it can be very curable if caught in the early stages. Testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer in men aged 15 to 44, so regular self-exams to check for any lumps or changes should be performed. Early detection is key for successful treatment of testicular cancer. Additionally, various treatments such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy may be used depending on the stage and type of cancer.
