Testicular cancer usually only affects one testicle, but it can affect both.
It's important to know what is normal for you. Checking your testicles regularly makes it easier to notice any changes in the size, look or feel of your testicles.
These symptoms are very common and can be caused by many different conditions. Having them does not definitely mean you have testicular cancer, but it's important to get them checked by a GP.
Don’t carry the worry of cancer with you. Find more information. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/testicular-cancer/
