Testicular Self-Examination

A testicular self-exam is when you check your testicles for any changes or abnormalities. It is of great value to know what feels normal, so that you are able to notice any changes when they occur. Changes do not always mean cancer. But, if cancer does grow in the testicles, and you catch it early, you have the best chance for a cure.
