Testicular cancer is a young man’s disease, and yet this is the age group that has the greatest sense of invincibility from the illness. Dr Harper demonstrates the technique you can use to self-examine your balls, and as it’s best carried out in the shower, it’s a great excuse for taking a bit longer in the morning.

I have two small lumps at the head of the epididymis. They do not seemed to be connected to the testicle, as they move freely around the scrotum with the epididymis. I'm seeing the doctor this week because I think they might be epididymal cysts, but I just want to make sure. Are these dangerous? The only discomfort they give me is during exericise or sex.
