Testicular Cancer – Doctor and Condition

Testicular cancer is a cancer in the testicles (or testes), inside the scrotum, a bag of skin under the penis. The testicles are where sperm and male sex hormones are produced. Testicular cancer is a fairly rare form of cancer, but is the most common cancer in younger males (i.e. 15 – 35 years of age). Testicular cancer is typically very treatable, even if it has spread. The type of treatment for testicular cancer depends on the stage and other factors. Testicular cancer typically only affects one of the testicles.

Testicular Cancer Symptoms May Include:

• Lumps or an Enlargement in the Testicles
• Feeling of Heaviness in Scrotum
• Dull Ache in Abdomen or Groin
• Sudden Fluid in the Scrotum
