Step 1
After a warm shower or bath, grasp one testicle with both hands. Place your middle and index fingers underneath the testicle and your thumbs on top.
-
Step 2
Roll the testicle between your thumbs and fingers, feeling for any abnormal lumps. An abnormal lump will feel like a hard pea. Don't mistake the epididymis, a ropelike structure on the back and top of each testicle, for an abnormal lump.
-
Step 3
Check your other testicle in the same way.
-
Step 4
See your doctor immediately if you feel any lumps.
-
Step 5
Repeat the self-exam once a month or as instructed by your doctor.

on 11/15/2007 How do I deal with, or help my 34 year old son, married with a newborn daughter, that has had a lump in his testicle for about 5 years now, and refuses to address it with his wife, mother or even go to a doctor?
