Sudden swelling in the scrotum.
Pain or discomfort in a testicle or the scrotum.
Enlargement or tenderness of the breast tissue.

Complications

Chemotherapy can cause problems with your lungs, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, nerves, or hearing. It may also damage the cells that make testosterone. Talk to your doctor about how to manage these risks.

Causes

Infertility.
HIV and AIDS.
Family history (having a father or brother who has had testicular cancer)
Personal history – if you have had cancer in one testicle you are more likely to develop cancer in the other testicle.

Prevention

Testicular cancer cannot be prevented. Unlike some other cancers, there are currently no recommended screening exams for testicular cancer. It is recommended you conduct a self-exam in a warm shower once a month. If you notice changes in the testicles, seek medical attention.

Risk factors

Family history.
Previous testicular cancer.
HIV or AIDS.
Ethnic background.
Abnormality of the penis and urethra (hypospadias).
Undescended testicles (cryptorchidism).
Abnormal cells in the testicle (germ cell neoplasia in situ, or GCNIS).
