What are the Symptoms?
Suggested Links:
The first symptom of testicular cancer is typically a firm lump in the testicle, which may or may not be painful. A mass in the scrotum is not necessarily a cause for alarm, but a lump in the testicle is almost always cancerous and should be examined without delay. In some cases, early-stage testicular cancer may cause no symptoms at all. Occasionally, if blood vessels in the growing tumor should rupture, there may be severe pain.
The most common symptoms of testicular cancer include:
- Swelling or hardness in the testicle or scrotum
- Lump in the testicle
- Pain in the testicle
- Heavy feeling in scrotum
- Ache in lower abdomen or groin area

Having one or more of these symptoms does not necessarily mean that you have testicular cancer; there are several disorders that can cause some of the same symptoms. Your physician will arrange for the appropriate diagnostic tests to ensure that a proper diagnosis can be made and treatment can be initiated at once.
Remember: when caught early, testicular cancer is highly curable.
