Chest pain - a symptom of testicular cancer

Symptoms of testicular cancer may not be apparent until the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. A testicular self-exam, using warm water, can help detect cancer at an early stage, when treatment is more likely to be successful.

Symptoms of testicular cancer are as follows.

Early stage

Pain may be felt on one side or both sides, with or without swelling. When touching the testicles, there may be a feeling of a lump forming, and the scrotum may be heavy. In some other cases, in the early stages, there are almost no abnormal signs, making it difficult to detect until the disease progresses to a severe stage.

Therefore, maintaining the habit of regular male medical examination plays an important role in screening for dangerous cancers.

Symptoms of mid and late stage testicular cancer

If the signs in the early stages of this disease are still vague, easily confused with other diseases, then in stages 2, 3 and the end, the symptoms are clearer and patients often go to the doctor at this stage. In addition to pain, swelling and abnormalities in the "little guy", the patient may have unusual abdominal pain, scrotal effusion, and increasingly large testicular tumors.

A cyst develops in the epididymis.

The epididymis is a small organ attached to the testicle made up of coiled tubes that carry sperm from the testicle. An increase in the size of the blood vessels from the testicle is called a varicocele.

Accumulation of fluid in the membrane surrounding the testicles

A painless lump or swelling in either testicle. If detected early, a testicular lump may be about the size of a pea, but it can grow much larger. Any lump, swelling, hardness, or pain in the testicles can be a sign of testicular cancer. Therefore, you should see a doctor early if you have the above symptoms.

Dull pain in lower abdomen or groin

Pain or discomfort, possibly swelling, in a testicle or scrotum. Pain can be caused by many different conditions, including infection, injury, torsion, and cancer. An infection of the testicles is called orchitis. An infection of the epididymis is called epididymitis. If an infection is suspected, the patient may be given antibiotics.

Changes in the way the testicles feel or a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum. For example, one testicle may become firmer than the other. Or, testicular cancer can cause a testicle to become larger or smaller.

Chest pain

Lower back pain, shortness of breath, chest pain, and bloody or sputum may be symptoms of later-stage testicular cancer, but many other conditions can also cause these symptoms.

Swelling of one or both legs or difficulty breathing can be symptoms of testicular cancer. A blood clot in a large vein is called deep vein thrombosis. A blood clot in an artery in the lungs is called a pulmonary embolism and causes shortness of breath. For some young or middle-aged men, developing a blood clot may be the first sign of testicular cancer.

Some symptoms of testicular cancer help you detect the disease earlier and have better treatment.
