Dont even upvote me but i want this to serve as a PSA to all you young men out there. This can literally happen to anyone guys. I woke up 2 weeks ago and have a really swollen up right testicle, like 4x the size of a normal one. I immediately went to the doctor and got treated for an infection. About a week went by and I didn't see any progress so I went back and got a different doctor. She said this was very serious and booked me an ultrasound the very next day. I went and got my ultrasound results back and sure enough it was cancer. My doctor contacted me and said I needed to meet the specialist and surgeon about a 6 hour drive away at 10am this morning. By around 1pm I was on the operating table. I'm in a lot of pain now but the CT scans didn't show anything alarming indicating more cancer and my bloodwork came back clean. Not fully out of the woods yet but I'm so thankful to be able to write this post. So please please guys, whenever you feel anything wrong going on down there, go to the doctor. It initially started as "tenderness" down there a few months, and I chaulked it up to nothing. Stay healthy everyone! I got discharged from the hospital and I'm just relaxing at a airbnb right now, on my way home tomorrow.

  13. I got testicular cancer in 2021, had surgery and thankfully so far no recurrence, but i second everything OP said, guys check your stuff and don’t be afraid to get something checked out even if you think it’s nbd or not painful etc, just do it, could be the difference between just surgery and it spreading and needing chemo etc

    edit: forgot to write, happy to see you’re recovering OP, hope you’re permanently cancer-free, you got this!
