The testicles or testes (commonly known as “balls”) are found in a sac called the scrotum hanging below the penis. They are the male reproductive organ responsible for producing sperms and testosterone in males.

The testicles are arguably one of the most important organs in the male body. Being such an important organ means it is vital to examine it routinely. There have been cases of testicular lumps which turned out to be testicular cancer. But this does not mean every lump in the testicles is cancer.

Notwithstanding, it is better to be safe than sorry. That is why men are often encouraged to routinely check their testicles for unusual signs and symptoms such as swellings, lumps or pains.

If unfortunately, you notice a lump or pain in your testicles in could be as a result of several things. Sometimes it is nothing serious, but it is always worth checking just in case it turns out to be something quite serious.

Men are therefore advised to self-check their testicles regularly. It can be easy to treat and manage if the symptoms of testicular cancer are noticed early. Likewise it can be easy to diagnose and treat the symptoms of testicular cancer in the early stages.

Self-examination is by no means how you diagnose testicular cancer or any other illness. What self-examination does is to help you identify anomalies on your testicles. Once you do discover an abnormality such as pain or lumps, you are advised to contact your GP for a thorough examination.

Whilst the NHS does a fantastic job, unfortunately, the waiting time to see a GP could be up to eight weeks sometimes, we need that confirmation and diagnosis instantly. This is where we can help.

The good news is that you don’t have to wait. If after self-examination you discover that you have lumps or swollen in your testes but don’t want to wait for up to eight weeks to see your doctor, then there is a better way.
