10 Signs Revealing You Have Testicular Cancer

4. Back Pain

In the later stages of testicular cancer, a man may suffer lower back pain. In one case, the pain increased over time and continued to shoot down to the patient’s thighs. From there, one of his thighs became numb and week. By this time, he had an examination of his scrotum, which showed a mass had formed. It was a tumor, and the cancer was already graded at Stage Four. Chemotherapy helped ease the symptoms and removed the cancer.

3. Blood Clot

A man might have a blood clot if he has swelling of one or both legs or experiences a shortness of breath. This symptom of testicular cancer, called deep venous thrombosis (DVT) when the blood clot is in a large vein, should not be ignored. It can sometimes present itself as the disease’s first symptom. Similarly causing a shortness of breath is the result of a clot in an artery in the lung, called a pulmonary embolism.
