Transcript
Testicular cancer, when it's localised to the testicle, normally presents with a hard lump to the testicle.
This can be associated with pain, but most commonly is painless.
If you have a more widespread disease, you might have other symptoms that are related to the organ that are involved.
It's important to diagnose early and it's important to self-examine your testicle in order to pick up any abnormality early and be referred to a urologist for treatment.
