For testicular cancer awareness month we are signposting to all our information, support and ways to help.
About testicular cancer
Testicular cancer starts in one of the testicles. It can affect anyone who has testicles, including men, transgender (trans) women and people assigned male at birth. It is most likely to happen between the ages of 25 and 40.
The most common symptom is a lump or swelling in a testicle, or a dull ache, pain, or heaviness in the scrotum.
It is important to check your testicles regularly. We have information on how to check for testicular cancer.
In this video Dr Ranj is joined by testicular cancer expert, Dr Narveed Sarwar. They take an in depth look at the symptoms and treatment of testicular cancer - including a breakdown of how it is treated, stage by stage.
