About this session

Testicular health is easy to overlook, especially when there is no pain or obvious problem. Yet changes such as a lump, swelling, heaviness or a difference in the size or feel of a testicle can sometimes be the first sign that something needs medical attention.

Testicular cancer is relatively uncommon overall, but it is most commonly diagnosed in younger and middle-aged men. That makes awareness important well before the age when many people start thinking seriously about cancer prevention.

This session gives a straightforward introduction to testicular health, common changes, cancer awareness and what may happen during assessment. The focus is on knowing what is normal, noticing meaningful change and reducing embarrassment around seeking help.

  • Understand the basic structure and function of the testicles
