Testicles are the internal reproductive organs of men. A normal male has two testicles, which are located on the left and right sides of the scrotum. Testis, as the most important part of male reproductive organs, can not be ignored. Men aged 20-40 should regularly check their testicles for swelling or lumps every month. Testicular cancer is a common cancer in young men. Early detection, timely treatment and good recovery can be achieved.
So, how should you test the health of your testicles yourself?
In addition to regular physical examination by doctors, it is also necessary to have a testicular self-examination once a month. After warm water bath or bath, scrotum and other pudendal skin will relax, which is most suitable for testicular self-examination.
Correct testicular self-examination skills: hold a testicle lightly with both hands, touch and move other fingers with your thumb, and thoroughly check whether there is a lump, palpation or abnormal appearance. The accessory testis is located behind the testis, which is hard and easy to be mistaken for a tumor. If there is swelling or tenderness, consult a doctor immediately.
In addition, the testis must be below body temperature to produce normal sperm. Testicles are originally formed in embryos. During embryonic development, the testis gradually begins to move down until its final position. If some babies don't develop normally and their testicles haven't dropped to their proper position after birth, they need surgery. Without surgery, testicular cancer may occur. And it must be early. If the testicles are over a certain age, men may lose their fertility due to hyperthermia. Similarly, if men often wear tight underwear, the testicles are tightly wrapped in underwear, and the temperature is the same as the body temperature, it will affect the quality and quantity of sperm, thus affecting reproductive capacity.
