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.

I'm 22 and have recently checked for lumps and have found none. I recently discovered trace of a black/grey substance in my sperm and I'm concerned as to what it is. I have received blows to that region (was wearing a groin gaurd) in the past as I do combat sports but haven't in the last 2 months and have no pain or discomfort. Please help
