Symptoms of late-stage testicular cancer

Patients with advanced testicular cancer want to know one question, which is what are the symptoms of advanced testicular cancer? There are many symptoms of advanced testicular cancer. In order to answer this question, the editor has collected a lot of information. First, please patients and friends maintain a good attitude towards their own disease. Let me show you the symptoms of advanced 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 symptoms of late-stage testicular cancer. We hope that patients must actively seek treatment even if the disease develops to the late stage, be full of hope for life, and never give up on themselves and give up medical treatment.
