How To: Check Your Balls--

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 what's 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.

testicle cancer is considered a young man's disease.

yes thats true babe....

Testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer in men between the ages of 20 and 40. Its also one of the most curable. Approximately 90 percent of newly diagnosed testicular cancer cases are curable, according to the National Cancer Institute, and men can up their odds of successful recovery even more through education and selfexamination.
Relatively rare, but on the rise
