Medical Treatments

Testicular Tumor Removal

Testicular tumor removal surgery, also known as radical inguinal orchiectomy, is the primary treatment for testicular cancer. During this procedure, the affected testicle is surgically removed through an incision in the groin, not the scrotum. This prevents the spread of cancer and allows doctors to examine the tumor for accurate diagnosis. If needed, additional treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) may follow, depending on the cancer stage. India has become a leading destination for testicular tumor treatment due to expert oncologists and urologists, advanced cancer centers, and highly affordable medical care. With VivaVel Health, international patients receive personalized treatment, travel support, and compassionate care throughout their journey.

Signs & Symptoms

A lump or swelling in one testicle

A feeling of heaviness in the scrotum

Dull ache in the lower abdomen or groin

Pain or discomfort in a testicle or scrotum

Enlargement or tenderness of the breasts (rare)

Sudden buildup of fluid in the scrotum

Not all lumps are cancerous, but it’s important to consult a doctor immediately if you notice changes in the testicles.

Risk Factors

Undescended testicle (cryptorchidism)

Family history of testicular cancer

Previous testicular cancer in the other testicle

Abnormal testicular development (Klinefelter’s syndrome)

Age – most common between 15 and 35

Race/ethnicity – higher risk in Caucasian men

Diagnostics & Tests

 To confirm the diagnosis, doctors may recommend:

  • Ultrasound of the scrotum: to check the size and nature of the lump

  • Blood tests (tumour markers): AFP, HCG, LDH

  • CT/MRI scans: to check for the spread of cancer

  • Biopsy: usually not performed directly; tumour analysis happens after removal

Do’s & Don’ts

 Do’s:

  • Wear supportive underwear for comfort

  • Apply ice packs for swelling in the first 48 hours

  • Take prescribed pain relievers and antibiotics

  • Rest for at least 1–2 weeks

  • Attend regular follow-up appointments

 Don’ts:

  • Avoid strenuous activity or heavy lifting for 4–6 weeks

  • Don’t resume sexual activity until cleared by a doctor

  • Avoid smoking and alcohol (may affect healing and long-term recovery)

  • Don’t ignore symptoms like fever, swelling, or persistent pain

 

 Recovery & Outlook

Most men recover in 2–3 weeks for daily activities

Full recovery takes about 4–6 weeks

Success rates are very high when testicular cancer is detected early

 Survival rate:

95%+ for localized cancer

80–90% even when cancer has spread (with additional treatment)

Fertility may be affected, but sperm banking before surgery preserves options for future fatherhood.
