Early symptoms of testicular cancer

The early symptoms of testicular cancer are usually painless swelling of one testicle. This change may come quietly and be difficult to detect, but it is indeed an important health signal.

1. Painless swelling: The most typical symptom of testicular tumor is the sudden enlargement of one testicle without pain. This may happen without any obvious cause or trigger, while the other testicle remains normal. Although there is no pain, this swelling may be an early sign of testicular cancer and deserves attention.

2. Age factor: Testicular cancer is common in young men, especially those between the ages of 15 and 35. Men in this age group may be more likely to ignore changes in their bodies, thinking that they are in their prime and neglecting health checks. But because of this, men in this age group need to be more vigilant about abnormal changes in their bodies.

3. Other possible symptoms: In addition to painless swelling, early symptoms of testicular cancer may also include a heavy feeling in the testicles, fluid accumulation in the scrotum, and dull pain in the lower abdomen or groin. Although these symptoms do not necessarily mean testicular cancer, if these symptoms occur, it is recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible.

4. Psychological factors: Many men may delay seeking medical treatment due to embarrassment or shame. However, health problems should not be ignored. Early detection and treatment can greatly increase the possibility of cure. Remember, timely medical treatment is a manifestation of responsibility for yourself and your family.

5. Regular self-examination: It is recommended that men develop the habit of regular self-examination, especially those in the high-risk age group. Through self-examination, abnormal changes in the testicles can be detected earlier. Self-examination can be performed while taking a bath, because warm water can relax the scrotum and facilitate examination.

6. Medical advice: If you find any abnormal changes in the testicles, do not hesitate to go to the hospital for professional examination as soon as possible. The doctor can determine whether there is a possibility of testicular cancer through physical examination, ultrasound examination and blood test.

7. Adjust your mentality: It is very important to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude in the face of possible health problems. Sharing your concerns with family and friends and seeking their support and understanding can also help relieve psychological pressure.

Paying attention to changes in the body in a timely manner and having regular health checks are the key to preventing and early detection of the disease. I hope everyone can pay attention to their own health and achieve early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment.
