Testicular Self-Exam

The testicular examination is a simple and takes only three minutes. The best time to perform a self-exam is right after bathing when heat causes the skin of the scrotum to relax. You should start doing monthly exams at age 15 and continue until age 40.

1 Examine the scrotum visually for swelling.
2 Roll each testicle separately and gently between the thumb and first two fingers of both hands. It's normal for one testicle to be larger than the other.
3 Check for any lumps, swelling or changes in size of either testicle.

Some of the Symptoms Are:

  • you feel a lump or hard area in the testicle
  • the whole testicle feels harder than normal
  • one side of your scrotum is very swollen
