How serious is the harm caused by testicular cancer

How serious is the harm caused by testicular cancer? I believe everyone knows the seriousness of testicular cancer in life. Nowadays, the incidence of the disease is getting higher and higher, which makes many male friends extremely worried and afraid. For a disease like testicular cancer, we must know its harm and sound the alarm for ourselves. The following will introduce to you how serious the harm caused by testicular cancer is?

1. Testicular cancer usually occurs in young adults, of course, it can also occur in the elderly in their seventies or eighties, or in infants who are learning to speak. They have a common "hobby", which is to quietly create a mass in the testicle. This mass is often painless, but very heavy, as hard as a stone, and it feels heavy when you touch it with your hand, so the patient often feels like falling. Some individual tumors can grow huge, weighing dozens of kilograms, and at that time, it is very difficult for the patient to walk.

2. Testicular cancer is never satisfied with local destruction. Once there is a chance, it will metastasize to distant parts of the body through lymphatic vessels or blood circulation. This is a major bad habit of malignant tumors. They greedily devour the patient's body and wantonly damage the health and even life of the human body. This is the most serious harm of testicular tumors to the human body.

3. The testicles are located in the scrotum and are easy to touch because of their superficial appearance. If you find lumps or nodules on the testicles, or if the testicles are abnormally enlarged, heavy, and hard, you should be highly alert to the occurrence of testicular tumors and seek medical attention as soon as possible. The treatment of testicular cancer should be different according to the nature of the tumor.

In addition, surgical treatment of testicular cancer will remove one testicle, but it will not cause infertility and will not affect sexual function. However, if the surgery involves lymph nodes, it is likely to cause difficulty in ejaculation after recovery and affect sexual function. Radiation therapy can interfere with sperm production and cause infertility. For some men, sperm production may be limited and eventually heal within a year or two.

In addition, it is worth noting that testicular cancer patients should maintain a positive attitude and do proper physical exercise to improve their immunity while properly adjusting their diet during treatment. At the same time, the patient's family and medical staff should help the patient create a warm and comfortable recuperation environment, and encourage the patient to actively cooperate with the treatment and fight cancer from a psychological and physical perspective.
