Testicular Cancer
Symptoms of Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer may cause an enlarged testis or a lump. A testis normally feels like a smooth oval, with the epididymis attached behind and on top. Testicular cancer causes a firm, growing lump in or attached to the testis. With cancer, the testis loses its normal shape, becoming large, irregular, or bumpy. Although testicular cancer is usually painless, the testis or lump may hurt when lightly touched and may even hurt without being touched. A firm lump on the testis requires prompt medical attention. Occasionally, blood vessels rupture within the tumor, yielding a suddenly enlarged, severely painful swelling. Rarely, the first symptoms of people with testicular cancer that has spread widely (metastatic cancer) are abdominal pain, low back pain, confusion or headaches, shortness of breath, and/or chest pain.
