Why do schools pull this crap?!?!
Did they bother to mention how very uncommon this cancer is?
Did they tell you there is an average of 550 cases each year in males under 20 years old?
Or that you are 8 times more like to die in a car accident?
Please print this out and give it to your teacher so they know how freaking irresponsible this is.
No you do not have testicular cancer. If you ever do you will have no doubt something is very wrong.

I am a cancer registrar.

The most common symptoms are:

* Swelling in part of one or both testicles.

* Feeling of heaviness in the scrotum.

* Lumps in the body of the testicle.

* Rarely, tender nipples may be caused by hormonal changes within the body.

If you are concerned about any changes to your body the best thing to do is see your doctor and have it checked out. For more straighforward info on the causes, signs and treatment for testicular cancer visit this site: http://www.nowwhat.org.au/info/factsheet…

I hope you found this post helpful.

I share Denise's anger at the irresponsible way schools handle the subject of cancer, scaring kids by giving them incomplete information or misinformation.

Testicular cancer is rare; it mainly affects males aged 20 - 49; and most testicular lumps aren't cancer (Cancer Research UK estimates that fewer than 4% of testicular lumps considered suspicious enough for testing turn out to be cancer).

Those are a few facts your teacher and her/his video obviously missed out

Its probably not, but I would go see a doctor.
Better safe than sorry.

go see a doctor
