What are the early symptoms of testicular cancer

What are the early symptoms of testicular cancer? Many patients with testicular cancer asked me this question. Depending on the difference in each person's physical condition and the degree of illness, there are many different symptoms of testicular cancer. Let me introduce to you in detail what the early symptoms of testicular cancer are.

1. Acute testicular pain. One day, the affected testicle suddenly experiences severe pain, which is like testicular torsion. It turns out that it is caused by sudden bleeding, embolism and ischemic necrosis of testicular tumor tissue.

2. Infertility. Testicular tumors can cause massive destruction of the sperm-making machinery in the testicles, leading to infertility.

3. Testicular heaviness. Testicular tumors are formed by the massive growth of tumor cells, so they are substantial masses. When they grow to a certain size, the weight of the testicles increases suddenly, and the patient will feel heavy and fall, and even have difficulty walking. If you hold up the testicles with your hands, it feels like holding up a stone, with a certain sense of weight.

4. Testicular swelling. This kind of swelling is usually found accidentally when bathing or changing clothes, or when the scrotum is slightly injured by some kind of impact and is found when touching the part. Most testicular swelling is not accompanied by pain, and there is no pain when pressing on the part. Occasionally, there may be dull pain, but there is always a feeling of heaviness and swelling in the scrotum.

5. Acute abdominal pain. Testicular tumors located higher up can cause reflex pain in the lower abdomen due to the downward pull on the nerves. Especially for cryptorchidism located in the abdominal cavity, if malignant changes occur and testicular torsion occurs at the same time, the acute abdominal pain is very severe.

6. Hard testicles. They feel like rocks and are very hard, which is significantly different from the uniform swelling and soft texture of normal testicular inflammation.

Seven: Gynecomastia. Unexplained breast enlargement may also be caused by testicular tumors. For example, tumors such as embryonal carcinoma, choriocarcinoma, and teratocarcinoma will produce a large amount of gonadotropin. The increase of this hormone in the body can stimulate breast enlargement.

Above we have introduced several early symptoms and manifestations of testicular cancer. We hope this knowledge can help you.
