Cancer of the testicles usually affects young men between 20 to 55 years of age. The most common symptom of this disease is a painless lump or swelling in the testicles.
The number of cases of testicular cancer has roughly doubled over the last two decades in England. It is recommended that you consult with a doctor if you notice any abnormalities, lumps, or swellings on or in your testicles.
Most testicular lumps are benign (non-cancerous), but it is safer to diagnose and catch any unusual conditions as early as possible. The methods for diagnosing testicular cancer are biopsy and blood tests.
Testicular cancer can develop at any age, with roughly half of all cases found in men between the ages of 20 and 34. It is one of the least common cancers and carries a very low risk of loss of life. It is usually caught easily and can be easily treated. A painless lump in the testicle is the most common symptom of testicular cancer. In some cases, the testicle may just become swollen or enlarged, with no lump. In most cases, testicular cancer does not cause pain.
If you experience sudden and severely painful swelling in one of your testicles, with scrotal swelling, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain, you may be suffering from a condition called testicular torsion, where the blood supply to a testicle is cut off. Medical attention is urgently required in this case in order to restore blood flow to the affected testicle. It can happen at any age but is most common in young men aged 13-17 and rare in men over 30.
There are several causes of symptoms, such as testicular pain and lumps, most benign but should be examined and treated.
