Testicular Cancer
- The cause of testicular cancer is not well understood. The most important known risk factor for testicular cancer is a history of one of your testicles not moving into your scrotum properly before you were of school age (called an undescended testicle). However, most men who develop testicular cancer do not have this risk factor.
- Ignoring any changes in your testicles or not seeing a doctor or nurse right away could make whatever problem you may have more difficult to treat successfully.
- So, if one of your testicles seems much larger or harder than the other, or you find a lump, get it checked out by your doctor.
