#self-exam

If you have a lump on one of your testicles, especially a new one, that is something that requires immediate medical attention. It may be something benign but cancer is a very real possibility. Unlike breast cancer, testicular cancer is often painful to some degree.

Each one should have a small bump called the epidymis located on the upper/outer side where blood vessels and the spermatic cord connect and that’s normal.

I understand not being able to see a doctor easily or cheaply, but when it comes to cancer debt is preferable to dying, certainly of one of the cancers with the highest survival rate (~99% with early treatment).

The most effective time to do a testicular self-exam is right after getting out of a cozy shower or bath. “The warmth relaxes the scrotum and makes it much easier to understanding of abnormalities,” says Dechet.
