If Breasts Can Be Examined Why Not The Testicles?

For years we’ve stressed to women the importance of an annual breast examination for the detection of cancer. Yet today little attention is paid to examination of the male testicles. It’s time for women to remind their mates that what is good medicine for the goose is also good medicine for the gander. Routine testicular self-examination (TSE) is the answer.

Dr. Joel Brenner, Assistant Professor of Sports Medicine at the University of Georgia, says, “There is a taboo about talking about the testicles unlike breasts and mammograms that are discussed on prime-time television.”

Yet cancer of the testicles is one of the most treatable cancers. The case of Lance Armstrong is the best example. In 1996 this world class athlete and five time winner of the Tour de France ignored early symptoms of groin soreness. Later he began to suffer from headaches and blurry vision. The diagnosis? Testicular cancer that had spread to many parts of his body.
