Checking yourselves is very important and getting to the doctor as soon as possible - caught early it can be cured - don't let ignorance and fear put you off from getting yourself checked out - Cancer is serious.
Here is the BBC website for the signs and symptoms BBC - Health - Conditions - Testicular cancer

Re: Testicular Cancer - Men need to check I might be wrong, but i think the guidance is to do a testicular check every six months, SIX MONTHS, i have yet to meet a a chap that doesnt do one every thirty seconds !!!, on a more serious note i think part of the problem is not the checking because i am pretty sure that is very much prevailent but fear of goin to the drs.

Re: Testicular Cancer - Men need to check My brother had testicular cancer about 25 years ago and he had to have his testicle removed and had chemo he was literally minutes away from dyeing but 25 years on he's going strong and its never returned. It was pure luck they found it.
I always check after I have a bath and the one day I found a lump on my left testicle and it was a cyst and they didn't want to operate as the doctor said it would cause more problems. If its not hurting it would be okay I have lost 6 stones in weight since then and it has vanished lol so it must have had something to so with my weight. But its always important to check for lumps some times it can be balls of fat tissue.
Never be afraid to go to the docs about a lump as if it id the dreaded C word and you get it treated in time you can over come it. Always stay positive and it will work out I feel

Re: Testicular Cancer - Men need to check I must admit when I first found my lump in my breast I did leave it for 4 weeks as i just thought it would be normal lumps that u get, but i am so glad i got the guts up, to goto the doctors, and in my experience talking to men and women, they have all said the same thing, it is scary but it can also save your life.
If it wasnt for the fact i went to the doctors when i did i wouldnt be here today.
So please check yourselfs.
