What are the symptoms of testicular cancer? Here are six points to pay attention to

After suffering from testicular cancer, the affected area will first become hard like stone, and will not feel pain. Secondly, the testicles will continue to swell and have different shapes. Some may swell particularly obviously, and there will also be a very obvious heaviness, which may even affect normal walking. When it spreads to the lymph nodes, abdominal pain will also occur. A very small number of patients also have symptoms of breast growth and pain.

Testicular cancer is a common disease among urinary tumors and is extremely harmful. It is generally divided into primary and secondary types, but secondary types are very rare. The biggest harm of testicular cancer is that it is prone to distant metastasis, which will not only cause treatment failure but also directly threaten the length of life. Therefore, early detection is the most important thing. What are the symptoms of testicular cancer?
1. The texture of the testicles is hard <br/>When suffering from testicular cancer, the patient will feel that the texture of the testicles becomes hard and feels like a stone. When the testicles are generally inflamed, the texture is soft and painful. However, testicular cancer is hard to the touch and does not feel painful, which is a very obvious difference.

2. Testicular enlargement <br/>The characteristic of testicular cancer is that the tumor will multiply indefinitely, so the tumor will continue to swell and have different shapes. Some may swell particularly obviously, while others may be irregular.
3. Testicular heaviness <br/>Because testicular cancer is formed by the continuous growth of the tumor, it is a substantial mass. If it grows to a certain size, it will feel very heavy. At the same time, there is a sense of falling, which may even affect walking. If you hold up the testicle with your hand at this time, it will feel like holding up a stone.
4. Abdominal pain <br/>When testicular cancer develops to a certain stage, it will spread to the lymph nodes, then abdominal pain will occur. This is because the cancer cells spread to the glands on the back of the stomach. It may also metastasize to the clavicle and neck, where lumps will also appear.

5. Breast growth <br/>Another extremely rare situation is that testicular cancer causes excessive release of HCG, which can cause breast growth in men. At the same time, breast development is caused by hormone stimulation, so the patient will also lose sexual desire.
6. Low back pain <br/>If testicular cancer develops to the late stage, the patient will experience severe low back pain, which may even spread to the thigh, causing one leg to become completely numb and without sensation. A lump will also appear in the scrotum, and the cancer will enter the fourth stage.
