It strikes about 5000 males a year. Often only one testicle is affected. The cause of testicular cancer is not known. In the early stages, testicular cancer may have no symptoms. Blood or fluid suddenly accumulating in the scrotum.
Testicular cancer is almost always curable if it is found and treated early.
The testicle is surgically removed. The testicles are located behind the penis and contained within the scrotum. They should be about the same size and feel smooth, rubbery and egg-shaped. The left one sometimes hangs lower than the right. Self-examination of the testicles is best performed when the scrotum is relaxed, after a warm bath or shower.
