What are some signs of testicular cancer?

A hard, painless lump on the testicle (this is the most common sign)
Pain or a dull ache in the scrotum
A scrotum that feels heavy or swollen
Bigger or more tender "breasts"
Testicular cancer is very treatable if it's found early. Your doctor can check your testicles during an exam. A self-exam is another good way to check for testicular cancer (see below for self-exam directions). If you find anything unusual during a self-exam (like a lump or swelling), see your doctor right away
