What are the symptoms of late-stage testicular cancer

Some patients asked me, what are the symptoms of late testicular cancer? The symptoms will vary according to the severity of the patient's illness. First of all, I hope that patients will have a positive attitude and not lose confidence in the treatment of the disease. Now let me take you to learn about the symptoms of late testicular cancer.

Symptoms of testicular cancer metastasis: Testicular tumors mainly metastasize to lymph nodes, commonly in the internal iliac, common iliac, para-aortic and mediastinal lymph nodes. The metastatic lesions can be very large and can be felt in the abdomen. Patients complain of lower back and back pain. Patients with testicular choriocarcinoma may experience breast hypertrophy and pigmentation of the nipple and areola.

Symptoms of testicular enlargement: 88% of patients have varying degrees of testicular enlargement. Sometimes the testicles are completely replaced by tumors, with a hard texture and no normal elasticity. In the early stage, the surface is smooth, but in the late stage, the surface may be nodular, may adhere to the scrotum, or even rupture. The scrotal skin may be dark red, and there are often tortuous blood vessels on the surface. When doing a light transmission test, it is not transparent.

Pain is another symptom of testicular cancer: Nearly 90% of patients lose testicular sensation and feel no pain. Therefore, the tumor is generally considered to be a painless scrotal mass. It is worth noting that acutely painful testicular tumors can also be seen in clinical practice, but they are often considered to be inflammatory signs. The cause of pain is bleeding or central necrosis in the tumor, or pain caused by testicular tumors invading tissues outside the testicle.

Through the above understanding, we know the late-stage symptoms of testicular cancer. We hope that patients must actively seek treatment even if the disease develops to the late stage and be full of hope for life. Never give up on yourself and give up medical treatment. This is a foolish idea. We must be responsible for our bodies.
