Testicular Self-Examination

About
RSS Feeds      Text 
A testicular self-examination (TSE) helps in detecting cancer of the testicles. Though testicular cancer is rare, overall it is the most common cancer in males between the ages of 15 and 35. Early detection and treatment facilitates almost 100 % cure. An untreated testicular cancer spreads to the lymph nodes and lungs. Tumours are mostly confined to one side, but 2-3% of the cases present with bilateral tumours. Doctors recommend monthly self-examination of the testicles.
