Symptoms of TESTICULAR SELF-EXAMINATION

If you find a lump on your testicle, see a doctor. Although it is okay to have a family practitioner or internist evaluate the situation, it might be best to see an expert, a urologist, right away. Lumps in the testicle do not always represent cancer. The can occur from various infections. In either case, however, they require treatment. Delaying diagnosis and treatment may allow cancers to spread and infections to worsen. Waiting and hoping will not fix anything. At times, you may feel free floating lumps in the scrotum that are not attached in any way to a testicle. They are not testicular cancer. When in doubt, get it checked out.
