Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer primarily develops in the testicles, the male reproductive glands responsible for producing sperm and testosterone. It's a relatively rare form of cancer but tends to affect younger men, typically between the ages of 15 and 35.
Understanding Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer primarily develops in the testicles, the male reproductive glands responsible for producing sperm and testosterone. It's a relatively rare form of cancer but tends to affect younger men, typically between the ages of 15 and 35.
Signs and Symptoms
The early signs of testicular cancer might include a painless lump or swelling in either testicle, changes in size or shape, a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum, or discomfort or pain in the testicle or scrotum.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosis
Testicular cancer is often diagnosed through a physical examination, ultrasound imaging, and blood tests to assess tumor markers. If a suspicious mass is detected, a biopsy may be conducted to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment
The treatment for testicular cancer typically involves surgery to remove the affected testicle (orchiectomy). Further treatment, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, might be necessary depending on the stage and type of cancer.
Regular self-examinations and prompt medical attention for any changes in the testicles are crucial for early detection and effective treatment of testicular cancer.
