What are the dangers of having testicular cancer

Most people are very afraid of cancer because it is very troublesome to treat. Testicular cancer is a type of cancer that can cause great life pressure to patients. Some male patients with poor economic conditions will become very negative, which affects their lives. So what harm will testicular cancer cause? The following is a detailed introduction.

Half of the patients often feel heaviness in the testicles, and sometimes feel a pulling sensation in the scrotum, lower abdomen, or groin. This is more obvious when jumping or running. Local symptoms worsen after standing for too long or being tired, accompanied by a feeling of falling or mild pain. The pain may be aggravated by accidental collision or squeezing.

Some patients often have symptoms similar to acute orchitis or epididymitis. After anti-inflammatory treatment, although the inflammation has been controlled, there is a lump that does not disappear. At this time, you should be alert to the possibility of testicular tumors. The initial symptoms of a very small number of patients with testicular malignancies are often caused by tumor metastasis. For example, the metastatic lymph nodes in the abdominal cavity fuse into masses that compress the adjacent tissues and the celiac plexus, causing pain in the abdomen and lower back, and may also be accompanied by symptoms of gastrointestinal obstruction, or cough, shortness of breath, and blood in sputum due to lung metastasis.

In the case of cryptorchidism, when the ectopic testicle develops malignant changes, a gradually enlarging mass often appears in the pelvic cavity or inguinal area, and the absence of the ipsilateral testicle is found during physical examination. Testicular tumors can sometimes occur bilaterally, simultaneously or one after the other. Testicular tumors can occasionally cause symptoms of endocrine disorders, which often occur in patients with trophoblastic carcinoma, interstitial cell carcinoma, and embryonal carcinoma, manifesting as male breast hypertrophy, precocious puberty, or feminization.

Testicular cancer refers to a malignant tumor formed by the cancerous transformation of testicular cells. Testicular cancer accounts for one percent of all male carcinoids. Testicular cancer mostly occurs in men aged 15-39 and is the most common cancer in men between 20-34. However, the cure rate of testicular cancer is very high, with a survival rate of 95% or even higher. Therefore, in the field of oncology, testicular cancer is a very important malignant tumor.
