Testical Cancer - Guys How Often Do You Check Yourself?

Recently on a tv programme, I saw a poor guy who put up with a pain in his testicals for a few months & did nothing about it. After going thru tests & an operation, the surgeons removed one of his & it measured a whopping 6cm x 9cm in size. It was a seriously large cancer growing on it.
So how often do you check yourself for it ?

 

Men in general do not check often enough. That also applies to breast cancer.

Easy to do and could save your life.....so please fellows cop a little feel now and again and make sure your parts stay healthy.

 

Really excellent video on self examination.

i don't do it on a regular schedule or anything. every once in a while something will remind me and i'll feel around for anything unusual. then again, it's not terribly unusual for me to adjust myself and just leave them in my hand for a while because it's a comfortable position, and while i'm not technically checking myself i would be likely to notice anything particularly off kilter while doing so.

of course, if i was feeling pain in my balls, or if one of them was significantly bigger than the other (like 6cm by 9cm) i would notice without having to check, and i would immediately get myself to a doctor.

 

well....i just checked.

i think i'm good

 

And....??



Cheers Glen.

 

:juggle:..

 

I tend to check pretty often. I had a friend who had it so I make sure to keep it checked.

 

I have a prosthetic testicle. CHECK YOURSELVES OR END UP .... LIKE ME!
Have an exam, if they catch it early the prognosis is very good. My lady found a lump. I was too slack, pathetic and....typical male.....check guys, is it worth dying for?

 

What made you decide to get a prosthetic?

 

And to keep himself from walking around in circles.


I know, black humour, nothing funny about it, couldnt help myself, I'm sorry

 

If you watch the video you'll see that it is emphasised that even if there is a cancer there it probably won't come across as being painful so, whatever you do, don't take pain as a guideline.

Personally, I shave myself once a week while I'm in the bath, and when I soaping myself up I always take the opportunity to run a standard test, as the warm water makes the testes easily malleable.

 

I might check myself in 30 yrs! but not for prostate.. nothing's going up my bum

 

Every chance I get and I check my cock too. I can check myself for as long or short a period of time as I want because they're mine.
