Testicular cancer can affect anyone who has testicles and is most common in younger adults. Getting to know what is normal for you can help you notice changes early.
Possible symptoms include:
Other symptoms can occur if cancer has spread, including back or lower tummy pain, unexplained weight loss, coughing or difficulty breathing
Regularly checking your testicles can help you notice changes. One testicle may naturally be slightly larger or hang lower than the other — it's changes from what is normal for you that matter.
If you notice a lump, swelling, pain or any unusual change, make an appointment with your GP. Most testicular lumps and changes are caused by conditions other than cancer, but they should still be checked.
Important: sudden, severe testicular pain needs urgent medical attention and can be a sign of testicular torsion.
