See a doctor if you:

Notice a lump, swelling, or change in testicle size

Have unexplained scrotal pain or heaviness

Develop breast enlargement or tenderness

Experience unexplained fatigue or weight loss

 The exact cause of testicular cancer is unknown, but risk factors include:

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

 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.
