Testicular cancer is a relatively rare cancer that affects the testicles, primarily occurring in males aged 15 to 35, though it can arise at any age. It often manifests as a painless lump or swelling in one testicle and may be accompanied by a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum. While it can spread quickly if untreated, testicular cancer is highly treatable with excellent cure rates when detected early.​br br Symptomsbr Painless lump or swelling in either testiclebr br Feeling of heaviness or discomfort in the scrotumbr br Dull ache in the lower abdomen, groin, or testiclebr br Sudden swelling in the scrotumbr br Back pain in some casesbr br Breast enlargement or tenderness (rare)br br Coughing or breathlessness if cancer has spread (rare)​br br Diagnosisbr Diagnosis includes physical examination, ultrasound of the testicles, blood tests for tumor markers (alpha-fetoprotein, beta HCG, lactate dehydrogenase), and imaging (CT or MRI) to determine spread. Confirmation is made via surgical removal of the affected testicle (radical inguinal orchiectomy).​br br Treatmentbr Treatment depends on cancer type, stage, patient health, and preferences:br br Surgery: Removal of the affected testicle is primary treatment.br br Chemotherapy: Used if cancer has spread; common drugs include cisplatin, etoposidebr br Radiation therapy: Often for seminomas, targets lymph nodes after surgerybr br Surveillance: Close monitoring post-surgery if cancer is localizedbr br Prognosis is generally excellent, with 95 or higher cure rates, especially with early detection and treatment.​br br 👉 Don’t forget to Like 👍, Share 🤝, and Subscribe 🔔 to Medickpidia for accurate, hopeful cancer education and support!br br Hashtags br #TesticularCancer, #TesticleLump, #Orchiectomy, #Chemotherapy, #RadiationTherapy, #CancerTreatment, #CancerAwareness, #EarlyDetection, #TumorMarkers, #AlphaFetoprotein, #BetaHCG, #ScrotalSwelling, #GroinPain, #MaleHealth, #CancerRecovery, #CancerSupport, #Oncology, #CancerScreening, #CancerResearch, #Metastasis, #HealthyLiving, #SelfExam, #CancerSurvivor, #Medickpidia, #Wellness, #HealthEducation, #Prognosis, #CureRates, #Surveillance, #CancerSymptoms, #Medickpidiabr br CONTACT US - MEDICKPIDIA@GMAIL.COMbr Medickpidia: Your trusted source for up-to-date medicine guides, wellness advice, and evidence-based healthcare solutions.
