Self-Check for Testicular Cancer

Testicular cancer is the most common cancer of younger men between age 30-34, it’s the most common cancer in men. However, 6% of testicular cancers do occur in children and teens, and 7% occur in people over 55. But, it's still a good idea to do a self-check which is a really easy and free way to screen yourself for cancer that is very very curable especially if caught early. So when you're doing a self exam, it's really simple usually you're in the shower and so everything is accessible. What I recommend is two fingers under, and then just roll the testicle around in your finger. You don't have to squeeze, and it doesn't have to be painful at all, but you're feeling for any lumps or bumps, or for any asymmetry where one is bigger than the other, or there's a bump or or growth or something that's changed over the course of the last month. You want to be sure to check both of them thoroughly. You want to be sure to roll it all the way around so that you can feel you know the full surface of the testicle; it is basically the men's version of the breast exam that women have to do every month. A once a month self-check should be adequate. I'm sure that while you're cleaning yourself things are getting checked on a daily basis, but once a month if you pay attention to what you're doing that should be fine. It is very simple and it can save your life.
