Testicular cancer causes around 70 deaths every year in the UK. Testicular cancer primarily affects younger men and is the most common form of cancer in men aged between 15 and 44.
Regular self-examination will help you become more aware of the normal feel and size of your testicles so that any abnormalities can be spotted early on.
* A lump in either testicle
* Any enlargement of the testicle
* A feeling of heaviness in the scrotum
* A dull ache in the abdomen or groin
* A sudden collection of fluid in the scrotum
* Growth or tenderness of the upper chest
If you do have any of these symptoms, don’t just wait and hope that they disappear - go and get checked out by your doctor. Most lumps are not cancerous but the earlier you find out, the earlier you can get any necessary treatment.
And remember – if caught early, testicular cancer is 99% curable.
