Testicular cancer, like all cancers, is an abnormal growth of cells, in this case in the testicles.
Signs and Symptoms
- new or unexpected changes in the testicles
- painless swelling or growth
- heaviness or prolonged aching
Management
- consult a medical professional
- cease sexual contact until diagnosis is confirmed and permission is given by a physician
