Pay special attention to testicular self-examination. Any male 15 or older should practice monthly testicular self-exam. The test takes only a few ntinutes and is easy to do. Most lumps are not cancer, but any lump should be immediately checked by a physician. The best time to check yourself the shower or after a warm bath.
Fingers glide over soapy skin making it easier to concentrate on the texture underneath.
The heat causes the skin to relax making the exam easier. Support the testicles in one hand and feel each with the other hand. Gently roll each testicle between the thumb and the fingers. Gently separate this tube from the testicle with your finger to examine the testicle itself. Feel for any swelling or lumps.
