About Testicular Cancer Symptoms Testicular cancer is one of the most common cancers in young men between the ages of 15 and 34. But the disease also occurs in other age groups, so all men should be aware of its symptoms. The testicles are smooth, oval-shaped, and rather firm. Men who examine themselves regularly become familiar with the way their testicles normally feel. Any changes in the way they feel from month to month should be reported to a doctor.
Testicular cancer can cause a number of symptoms.
These symptoms are not sure signs of cancer. They can also be caused by other conditions. However, it is important to see a doctor if any of these symptoms lasts as long as 2 weeks. Any illness should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible. Early diagnosis of testicular cancer is especially important because the sooner cancer is found and treated, the better a man's chance for complete recovery.
