A testicular cancer diagnosis is rare, but it is the most common form of cancer diagnosed in young men. Depending on the stage, the disease is considered extremely treatable. Treatment options can include chemotherapy and radiation, but often the first line of treatment is surgery to remove the testicle which contains the cancerous cells.
Symptoms of testicular cancer can be subtle. Some people may even confuse the early symptoms such as a small mass in their testicle as an injury. But when these signs are dismissed, the cancer can grow and become worse.
Self examinations are incredibly important when it comes to screening for testicular cancer. Young men aged 13 to 55 should perform a monthly self-examination to find any changes in the testes that might indicate cancer at an early stage.
Symptoms Can Include:
Breast growth or soreness
Early puberty in boys
Low back pain (a potential symptom of advanced testicular cancer)
Shortness of breath, chest pain, or a cough (a potential symptom of advanced testicular cancer)
Belly pain (a potential symptom of advanced testicular cancer)
Headaches or confusion (a potential symptom of advanced testicular cancer)
