How To Check Your Testicles
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.

hi im 16 and i have a smaller than a pea size ball floating around in my testicle sack. it doesnt hurt but im worried it might be something serious. could you tell me what it could be plz.
hi im 17
i have had a problem with my gentials for a while now one is larer than the other and i believe the right one hasnt lowered yet which also shows around the body like i have some armpit hair but not as much as my m8s. what do i do pleae helpI found a lump on my right testicle when i was about 12! (aboutthe size of a hazlenut)I was always too scared to go to the drs in case i got bad newd.
I finally plucked up the courage last year…I'm now 35! I spent nearly 13 years fretting & believing i might have cancer and it turned out to be a non life threatening epididymal cyst.
Don't waste time like me and don't hesitate to get yourself to the docs. A quick feel around by the doc will establish the truth of the problem.
I am 16, i have a small lump on my right testicle, it is located on the upper front of it directly next to the epidermis. I noticed it on monday and i know it hasnt been there long as i check my balls alot. It is roughly 2-3mm width and length ways and is only painful when i really investigate if it is part of the epidermis which i cant fully tell but other than that i wouldnt know its there. It is hard but i can "bobble" it if you get what i mean. I feel no other symptoms in any other part of my body like back pain or abdominal pain at all and the left testicle is absolutely fine and i have had no previous problems down there now does anytihng like that run in the family. What is it? Should i be worried as i am?
