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.
