The testicles cancer is potentially mortal but, if it is detected soon, sometimes it can be cured.
A simple examination that only 1 lasts ó 2 minutes can detect an abnormal growth in the testicles in the first stages. Just as the breast self-examination in the women, the autoexamination of the testicles is easy and important.
As the testicles cancer happens more often in young men that in major, the autoexamination must begin at an early age, and must be realized once a month.
It is necessary to realize the examination after the shower or warm bath, when the skin of the scrotum is thin and relaxed. First to examine a testicle and later other. To compress the testicle and to coil gently between the fingers index index and thumb. While it does this try to feel some bundle in the surface of the testicle. Also feel and observe if the testicle has grown of size, if it is harder or if there is some difference with regard to the previous examination. (A small firm line between the testicles is normal.
The conduit of exit, which is like a rope, also is a normal part of the scrotum and it is not a size increase). If a bundle is evident, it wounds or some change in a testicle, does not mean that it has a cancer but it goes as soon as possible to the doctor.
