๐ April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month ๐
๐๐ฉบ Early detection saves lives โ and it starts with you.
๐๏ธโ๐ปA monthly testicular self-exam takes less than a minute and can help you notice changes early:
โ๏ธ Check for lumps or swelling
โ๏ธ Look for changes in size or consistency
โ๏ธ Be aware of any discomfort or heaviness
๐ฟ๐๐งผThe best time? After a warm shower, when the scrotal skin is relaxed.
How to check:
1๏ธโฃ Do it after a warm shower โ skin is relaxed
2๏ธโฃ Stand in front of a mirror and look for swelling
3๏ธโฃ Gently feel one testicle at a time using both hands
4๏ธโฃ Roll it between your fingers and thumb
5๏ธโฃ Find the epididymis (soft tube at the back โ normal!)
6๏ธโฃ Check for any hard lumps, nodules, or changes in size
โ๏ธ Itโs normal for one testicle to be slightly larger
โ Itโs NOT normal to feel a hard lump or persistent pain
Most testicular cancers are highly treatable when caught early โ donโt ignore the signs.
Know your body. Check regularly. Speak up if something feels off.
