How can I check myself for testicular cancer?

Examining your testicles regularly (about once a month) can help you familiarise yourself with what’s normal and pick up any changes early.

To perform a self-examination for testicular cancer: 

• examine your testicles after a warm bath or shower when your scrotum is relaxed, and any lumps are easier to feel 

• gently roll each testicle between your fingers and thumb, checking for any lumps, swelling, or changes in size or shape
