Re: Testicular cancer

In summary you are checking for a hard mass within the body of the testicle.
Tumours are usually not painful or tender to touch but rarely can be.
They have an indistinguishable edge into the body of the testicle itself
Best to check in the shower once per week
An ultrasound usually makes the diagnosis
