What are the signs of testicular cancer

Testicular cancer is a disease that occurs in the male testicular tissue. Its early symptoms are not particularly obvious, so many male friends do not discover it in time after suffering from testicular cancer. Of course, this is also related to the fact that everyone does not understand the early signs of testicular cancer. So what are the precursors of testicular cancer? Next, let’s learn about the precursors of testicular cancer.

1. Testicular enlargement

This is the result of the endless proliferation of tumor cells. The shape of the swelling is not uniform, sometimes it is very irregular, and the testicle with the tumor can swell and protrude particularly obviously.

2. The testicles are hard

The testicles feel like rocks when touched, and are very hard, which is significantly different from the uniform swelling and soft texture of normal testicular inflammation. Although the testicles are very hard, there is no pain when pressed, which is also different from orchitis.

3. Testicular heaviness

Since testicular tumors are formed by the massive growth of tumor cells, 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, which may even affect walking. If you hold up the testicles with your hands, it feels like holding up a stone, with a certain sense of weight.

4. Negative light transmission test

Generally, when hydrocele is present, the light transmittance of the scrotum and testicles increases, and the light transmittance test is positive. However, when testicular tumors grow densely and solidly, there is no fluid inside, and the light transmittance is greatly reduced.
