Testicular Cancer

Testicular cancer is a rare but treatable form of cancer that affects the testicles, the male reproductive glands responsible for producing sperm and hormones. Although it is most commonly diagnosed in younger men between the ages of 15 and 35, it can occur at any age. The primary symptoms include a painless lump or swelling in the testicle, a feeling of heaviness, or discomfort in the scrotum. Early detection through self-examination and regular check-ups is crucial for successful treatment.

Treatment typically involves surgery to remove the affected testicle, followed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy if the cancer has spread. With prompt treatment, testicular cancer has one of the highest cure rates, especially when detected early. If you notice any unusual changes or symptoms, it’s important to seek medical attention promptly.
