All men should be aware of how to screen for testicular cancer. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Testicular cancer effects men of all ages from infant to the elderly, but it is most common in men ages 20- 34. While it can happen across all races, white men seem to be the most effected. The American Cancer Society recommends that men have their testicles examined every year as part of their physical examination. They should also do self-examinations each month. Look for any change in size or shape and seek medical attention if you detect a change. While testicular cancer is easier to cure than many other cancers, some people that find it too late just don’t make it. So be proactive by doing self-exams and getting that second opinion each year at your yearly physical. Your testicles are too important to lose. There’s so much to learn about healthy living.
