I got this nice little pamphlet on Testicular Self-Exams that I would like to share because I'm a caring person. Testicular cancer, like all other cancers, is a serious issue, and this little test is the easiest way to detect early signs. So, I'll copy down what is written:



When is the best time to perform the TSE?

-During or right after a warm shower or bath
-Warm water relaxes the skin on the scrotum, making the TSE easier to perform
-Remember to do the TSE once a month

What are the symptoms of testicular cancer?

-A hard, painless lump on the testicle (most common sign)
-Slight enlargement of one of the testicles
-A dull ache or feeling of heaviness in the testicles, groin, or lower abdomen

Who is most at risk?

-White males ages 15-35
-Men with a testicle that did not come down into the scrotum
-Men with a father or brother with testicular cancer

How do I perform the TSE[/i]

1. Check each testicle one a time.

2. Place your index and middle fingers under the testicle and your thumb on top.

3. Gently roll the testicle between your thumb and fingers. It should be smooth to the touch.

4. Feel for any hard lumps on the testicle.

5. Repeat the process with the other testicle.

6. If you find a lump, see your doctor immediately.


So, there you have it, an easy and painless way of testing for testicular cancer. Hopefully, you are happy that you learned a nice, small step to a healthier life. I bet you can be very good at doing this on a regular basis. Good day, sir.

It's a good thing I do this like, every day, by just having enough hygeine sense to.. WASH THAT AREA...

Doing a thorough check every day probably isn't a good idea. If anything does form, you'll get used to the changes every day, and may not notice it until later. Maybe.

I dunno.

I think it'd be pretty hard to get used to a hard lump on my testicles.

touching my testicles makes me feel sick

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

HAPPY? I just got scared ****less because I do have a bump. heh. Doctor time tonight. lol.

Edit : Doubt it really is that, because I've had that bump for years on end. If I've got tcancer then I've had it for like... 6 or 7 years. I'd probably be dead or have felt some other effects from it by now.

Meh, *calls Grim Reaper*

Yeah, me too. But hey, I guess better safe than sorry.

Then just get someone else to do it for you. :p

Yes a fat hairy man named Bob.

I'd rather have Jepp do it,

he has soft manly hands

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

[gay]Come sit on my jeplap. I'll geb it for you.[/gay]

Why does touching your testicals make you sick? Isn't that something you should be MORE worried about then the cancer itself?

You can't even reach your ballsack.

Rubbing my nuts between my fingers makes me sick, personally.

I remember those, and the pamphlet is nothing without the diagram.

The diagram is nothing without the rubber models.

Enough with the penii already.

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

That's funny.

Anybody else remember the Kenny Rogers Testicular Exam booth sketch on Mad TV? Will Sasso is a funny man.

Agreed. Touching your testicals makes me sick too.

I have pictures.

You took pictures...of yourself touching...your nuts?

Several.

Hmm.

Someone in my situation must constantly justify himself to others. .jpg Proof is the key.

Napoleon complex I assume.

Exactly.
