Testicular Cancer Awareness Month
April is #TesticularCancerAwarenessMonth.
Testicular cancer is relatively rare, has a very high survival rate and commonly affects men between the ages of 15-45. Most testicular lumps are not cancer, but it is still important to be checked out by your doctor.
It is estimated that 8,000 to 10,000 men will develop testicular cancer each year, finding cancer early can mean that treatment is more likely to be successful.
What to look out for
Symptoms include a testicle that gets bigger, a lump, a heavy scrotum.
These symptoms can be similar to other conditions and are unlikely to be cancer but see a doctor if they persist or are unusual for you.
