Testicular Cancer: 7 Critical Things Every Male Needs To Know

3. Checking For Cancer

According to Doctor Larry Lipschultz, Men’s Health urology advisor, men should check for cancer once a month by giving themselves self-examinations at home. Urologist Nicolas Cost of the University of Colorado suggests performing self-examinations in the shower where it is warm and easier to feel any abnormalities while your scrotum is relaxed. Check for smooth or rounded bumps, unusual changes in size or shape, and any hardness or irregular texture of each testicle.
