Analyzing Testicular Cancer Closely


Testicular cancer is highly curable if detected early enough. This kind of cancer is more prevalent in men aged between 20 to 39. Every man should know how to do a self-testicular exam because it has been documented that most testicular cancers are found by the patient during a self-exam. There are some signs of testicular cancer that every man should be aware of.

One of the major signs of testicular cancer is a painless lump or swelling in one of the testicles. A difference in the size of a testicle or any change in the way that it feels could be a sign of cancer.

Initially, there is nothing that can be done if cancer gets uncontrolled. But testicular self-exam is a great means of diagnosing testicular cancer; it is always better to test testicles immediately after bathing as this is when the scrotal sac is relaxed.

Symptoms of testicular cancer:

Inflammation of a testicle is one of the major signs of testicular cancer. However, not every such inflammation causes testicular cancer. Such swellings could be caused by other conditions too (most of which are harmless). Usually, the lump may or may not be accompanied by pain.

Some of the testicle cancer symptoms may appear in the form of mild pain in the lower back, and in the groin region. If you are 15 years old up to the age of 39, you might want to look at the reasons for this unprecedented lumbago.

Treatment:

The doctor must be consulted if you have observed inflammation in and around the area of your testicles. It is treated by removal of the affected testicle (orchiectomy) and radiation or chemotherapy as follow-up treatment if needed. Testicular self-examination is the best way to ensure early detection of tumors on the testes. If found and treated early survival rates are close to 90%.

Only one testicle is needed for male fertility and normal male sexual functioning so if testicular cancer is detected and treated early, the orchiectomy should not affect the sexual activity or plans for family expansion. Start with a slow exercise program after cancer treatment, but be persistent.  You cannot be expected to run a marathon right after you have recovered from testicular cancer treatment. Find a good exercise program that you can do comfortably and stick with it. Build on the exercise program until you are at a fitness level that you are happy with. Stay in shape and you will decrease your risk of cancer coming back.

Conclusion: 

Testicular cancer is one of the newly cropped cancer been observed in the recent past. Luckily, men can easily detect it early by following some simple steps discussed above. It is still highly recommended that the individual must consult the doctor if things are landing somewhere from out of the box.
