balls are important--

Check frequently---
There really is no golden rule as to how often you should check your balls for testicular lumps. But realistically, once a month should do. Doing so will make you familiar with the shape, size and feel of your testicles so that you can more easily detect any changes.

Prepare your balls for inspection

The best time to check your balls is during or after a warm shower or bath. The warm water allows the scrotum to relax and the testicles to drop down for easy inspection.

Examine one testicle at a time---
Using both hands, gently roll each testicle (with slight pressure) between your fingers. To do this, place your thumbs over the top of your testicle, then, with the index and middle fingers of each hand behind the testicle, roll the testicle between your fingers.

Know what your balls feel like---
Your testicles should feel firm and smooth, about the consistency of a hard-boiled egg except without the egg shell.

Know whats normal---
You may feel the epididymis (the sperm-carrying tube), which is a soft, rope-like tube located at the top of the back of each testicle. This is a normal lump.

Know what's abnormal--
When examining each testicle, feel for any firm masses, lumps or nodules along the front or sides. Lumps may be as small as a piece of rice or a pea and they are often painless.


See a doctor--
If you notice any swelling, lumps or changes in the size or color of a testicle, or if you have any pain or achy areas in your groin, you should schedule an appointment with a doctor (preferably a urologist) right away.
It's not always cancerous

If you do notice something abnormal, don’t get overly anxious; there are many other causes of abnormal lumps that are much less serious than cancer. But that tidbit of info shouldn’t stop you from seeking help. Infections, for example, will still require prompt treatment.
