10 Signs Revealing You Have Testicular Cancer

6. Fluid

Fluid associated with the testicles comes in various forms besides semen. First, a non-cancerous cyst called an epididymal cyst is fluid-filled and about the size of a pea. As a cancerous tumor grows, it might cause the area to become irritated, and a build-up of tissue fluid could occur around the testis and in the scrotal sac. On the rare occasion, bleeding in the scrotal sac may happen. These fluids could make the testicle appear swollen.

5. Breast Changes

In some rare instances, men may experience breast growth or soreness. This is caused by germ cell tumors. Occasionally these cells will release excessive amounts of the hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), which triggers breast growth. Another type of cell tumors called Leydig have similar results, but the stimulation of breast development is from their production of estrogen. He may also experience loss of sex drive at this point.
