The examination of testicular cancer needs to be carried out in a regular hospital, because only regular hospitals have perfect equipment and accurate professional level of doctors. Let's take a look at how to conduct the examination of testicular cancer in a regular hospital. The mandatory examinations for testicular cancer mainly include the following items:

1. Ultrasound: B-ultrasound examination can accurately distinguish the size, shape, and presence of lumps of the testicles. It can also distinguish whether the swollen testicles are caused by inflammation, tissue edema, or tumors. It can also detect whether there are metastatic tumors behind the peritoneum.

2. Auxiliary examinations: such as chest and bone X-rays, CT scans, radionuclide scanning, pyelography, experimental biochemical immunoassays, and even lymph node angiography, to observe or infer the scope and extent of metastasis.

3. Biopsy: A biopsy is the only test that can confirm the presence of cancer. In most cases, when doing a biopsy, the doctor makes an incision in the groin and removes the entire affected testicle. This procedure is called a radical inguinal orchiectomy.

4. Other examinations: In addition to examining the scrotum, other parts of the body should also be carefully examined, especially the abdomen for lumps, whether the liver is enlarged, whether there is edema in the lower limbs, and whether there is enlargement of the supraclavicular lymph nodes. As long as the examination is careful and thorough, the diagnosis will not be difficult.

In order to accurately and safely conduct a testicular cancer examination, it is necessary to go to a regular hospital, so I hope that all male friends can have a correct understanding of medical treatment.
