Testicular cancer

Ryan Jones with the testicular cancer poster

Check your balls! Any man can get testicular cancer - but those aged 20 to 50 are more at risk.

After a shower or bath – check your balls for:

  • Swelling or tenderness;
  • Hardness or lumps;
  • Weight gain.

Also look out for:

  • Blood passing from your penis;
  • Any back or lower-abdomen pain;
  • Aching in either testicle;
  • A heavy feeling in the scrotum.

If you spot anything – make an appointment with you doctor – but try not to worry as most testicular lumps aren’t cancer!
