The early signs of testicular cancer are easy to spot. Look out for one or more of the following:
- a hard lump on the front or side of a testicle
- swelling or enlargement of a testicle
- an increase in firmness of a testicle
- pain or discomfort in a testicle or in the scrotum (the sac that holds the testicles)
- an unusual difference between one testicle and the other
If you find a lump or swelling, or any of the above signs, it’s important to get it checked out by your doctor.
