Most testicular cancers are found by men themselves, by accident or when doing a testicular self-examination. It is common knowledge that a monthly breast self-exam for women is an effective part of early breast cancer detection. For men, starting at age 15, monthly self-exams of the testicles are also an effective way of detecting testicular cancer at an early -- and very curable -- stage.
The self-exam for testicular cancer is best performed after a warm bath or shower (heat relaxes the scrotum, making it easier to spot anything abnormal). The National Cancer Institute recommends following these steps every month:
Stand in front of a mirror. Check for any swelling on the scrotal skin.
Examine each testicle with both hands. Place the index and middle fingers under the testicle with the thumbs placed on top. Roll the testicle gently between the thumbs and fingers. You shouldn't feel any pain when doing the exam. Don't be alarmed if one testicle seems slightly larger than the other; that's normal. The testicles are smooth, oval-shaped, and rather firm.
Find the epididymis, the soft, tube like structure behind the testicle that collects and carries sperm. Once you are familiar with this structure, you won't mistake it for a suspicious lump. Cancerous lumps usually are found on the sides of the testicle but can also show up on the front. Lumps on the epididymis are not cancerous.
If you find a lump, see your doctor right away. The abnormality may not be cancer, but if it is, it will spread if not stopped by treatment. Waiting and hoping will not fix anything.
Men who examine themselves regularly (once a month) become familiar with the way their testicles normally feel. Any changes in the way they feel from month-to-month should be checked by a doctor.
Testicular cancer is treated by surgery, radiation therapy, and medication. In most cases, surgery is done to remove the testicle. Sometimes it also is necessary to remove lymph nodes in the abdomen if the cancer has spread. Anticancer drugs are recommended when there are signs that the cancer has spread, or if the doctor suspects that undetected cancer cells remain in the body after surgery or irradiation.
Go to the hospital and get a nice pretty young nurse to check them properly.
go to you tube, "testicular cancer check", you should be checking for lumps, the thing that you feel at the back of your balls is the epidydimis
its quite easy to tell just by lookin at it
the tube you can feel is the vas deferens the tube that carries sperm to the penis ,you should check for lumps or anything out of the ordinary, in the bath your testicles will drop as the temperature is different ,your scrotum if you look moves as it gets warm or cools down it's just the way your body protects your testes from harmful temperatures
Nurse in Ohio hit it on the button dude
