"At times, knowing where to get help can be challenging. As the national peak body for su***de prevention, we have made this a little easier and created a list of the main services that provide help.

Su***de Prevention Australia is not a crisis support or counselling service. Our role is to support our 300+ members who offer su***de prevention services and programs.

If you, or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call 000, visit your nearest hospital or call any of the below services."

Yes fellas, we really are giving you permission to play with your balls! ⚾⚽

Testicular cancer is the second most common cancer (after melanoma) in Aussie males aged 20 to 39. But it can happen to men of any age, even in their teens. 😲

Your risk may be higher if someone in your family has had it, you had an undescended testicle (ball) as a baby, or you were born with hypospadias (when the urethra opens on the underside of the p***s).

Testicular cancer can't be caused by sports injuries, wearing tight clothes or having hot baths. 🛁

The ball's literally in your court. If you're aged 15 or over, a monthly ball check is the best way to catch any changes early and get treatment. 🗓️

In a warm bath or shower, check each ball by rolling it gently between your fingers and thumb. Also feel the tube at the back of your balls (epididymis) for any swelling. Healthy balls will feel firm and smooth.

You need to look out for:
🏀 a painless lump or swelling in either ball
🏀 a change in how your balls feel
🏀 an ache in your lower abdomen or groin
🏀 a sudden build-up of fluid in your sc***um (sack)
🏀 pain or discomfort in your balls or sack.

Notice something different? Stay ahead of the game and see your healthcare provider right away. 🏆
