Testicular Cancer - How to prevent?

How is testicular cancer prevented?

There is no sure way to prevent testicular cancer, but some steps may help with early detection or lowering the risk:

  1. Regular self-examinations: Men are advised to carry out monthly testicular self-exams to spot any unusual lumps or changes in size. Early detection can lead to better treatment outcomes.
  2. Awareness of risk factors: While prevention is not always possible, being aware of risk factors like a family history of the disease, undescended testicles or previous testicular cancer can encourage more frequent check-ups and alertness.
  3. Healthy lifestyle: Keeping a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet and avoiding exposure to harmful substances may help lower overall cancer risk.

It is important to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns about your testicular health.
