Step 1: FIND A GOOD PLACE — Choose a comfortable spot where you feel relaxed, like your bathroom or bedroom. This will help you focus and feel at ease. A warm room can help the scrotum (the pouch that holds your testicles) relax, making it easier to feel for any changes.
Step 2: GET IN A COMFORTABLE POSITION — You can do the examination while standing in front of a mirror or sitting down. If you’re standing, you might want to use a mirror to see better. Make sure you are comfortable, as this will make it easier to perform the exam.
Step 3: LOOK AT YOUR SCROTUM — Gently hold the scrotum in your hand. Look for any swelling, lumps, or changes in color. The skin of the scrotum should be smooth and without any unusual bumps or sores. If you notice anything unusual, take note of it.
Step 4: CHECK EACH TESTICLE — Carefully hold one testicle at a time. Place your thumb on top of the testicle and your fingers underneath it. Gently roll the testicle between your thumb and fingers. It should feel smooth and firm. Look for any lumps, bumps, or irregularities. Normal testicles are usually about the size of a large olive, and they should feel somewhat firm but not hard.
Step 5: EXAMINE THE EPIDIDYMIS — This is a soft, coiled tube located at the back of each testicle. It is normal for this area to feel a bit softer than the testicle itself. Ensure that this area also feels normal. It should not be swollen or painful.
Step 6: BE DEMURE, BE MINDFUL — While examining, be mindful of other symptoms, such as: – Is one testicle larger than the other? – Do you feel a sudden heaviness in your scrotum? – Is there any pain or discomfort that doesn’t go away? Pain could indicate an underlying issue.
Step 7: Check your testicles once a month. Doing it regularly helps you notice any changes over time. Pick a specific day each month, like the first or last day, to make it a routine.
If you find any lumps, notice any changes, or if you have pain that doesn’t go away, see a doctor right away. Knowing what feels normal for you is important. Testicular cancer is most common in younger men (ages 15 to 35), but anyone can get it.
