8,500 Men Will be Diagnosed With Testicular Cancer

The testicles are made up of several cells, each of which can develop into one or more types of testicular cancer. But more than 90% of cancers of the testicles develop in cells that make sperm, known as germ cells. One would want to know at what age he is likely to be diagnosed with testicular cancer. According to Eric A. Klein, men aged 15-34 are most at risk for testicular cancer.  This disease accounts for approximately 11-13 of all cancer deaths within the age range.
SYMPTONS OF TESTICULAR CANCER

  1. Dull pain in lower back or belly
  2. Heavy feeling in scrotum
  3. Swollen testicles
  4. Shortness of breath.
  5. Headache.
  6. Coughing.
  7. Chest pain.
  8. Confusion
GOOD NEWS FOR YOU GUYS
According to the American Cancer Society only about 1 out of every 263 males will develop testicular cancer at some point in life.
This disease can be treated successfully. A man's lifetime risk of dying from it is only about 1 in 5,000.
HOW TO CHECK YOURSELF

  • Check one testicle at a time
  • gentle roll testicle between thumb and fingers.
  • Feel for hard lumps, smooth bumps or changes in size and consistency.
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FEEL A BUMP 
Just because you felt a bump doesn't mean you have testicular cancer. It may be;

  1. Warts (bump on the scrote)
  2. A hernia (workout injury)
  3. An infection (STD's)
  4. Testicular Torsion (NSFW)
Don't panic, just see a doctor. The causes are still unknown. The doctor will shine a strong light behind the testicle and numerous tests will be conducted to verify. According to Cleveland Clinic, testicular cancer is treated successfully 95% of the time. Early detection puts you at a chance of being cured up to 98% so TOUCH YOUR BALLS NOW!!!
