Question 1

can asbestos cause testicular cancer?

Accepted Answer

No: Asbestos has not been linked to testicular cancer.

Question 2

can soiled or sweated underwear be cause of testicular cancer?

Accepted Answer

No: You're a young man and if your underwear didn't get sweaty, I'd urge you to go out and exercise more. Getting your underclothes dirty simply isn't a sign of testicular cancer. Practice good hygiene and check yourself -- most of us handle ourselves often and simply be aware that a new mass in the scrotum needs to be seen. Best wishes.

Question 3

hpv in men cause testicular cancer?

Accepted Answer

No: Some hpv strains cause cancer of the penis. The main risk factor for testicular cancer is cryptorchidism.

Question 4

can testicular cancer cause frequent pain during urination?

Accepted Answer

Not likey.: The most common sign is painless testicular mass.  If pain is present, other causes, like epididymitis, and orchitis must be considered.  A brief course of antibiotics can be done.

Question 5

can laptops/ bluetooth game controllers cause testicular cancer?

Accepted Answer

No: That's one more scare story by somebody who doesn't understand the difference between the natural radiation that electronic devices and everything else produce, and the ionizing radiation that causes cancer. A bad epidemiologic study can "show" anything based on recall bias. Enjoy today's technology without this fear.

Question 6

is the pain caused by testicular cancer constant? will testicular cancer always present with a lump?

Accepted Answer

Testicular Cancer: Testicular cancer strikes men ages 26 to 32.  It is not found in men of your age. If you are having pain it is most likely a problem with your tubing that goes from the testicles to your prostate.  This is common and is known as a varicocele or spermatocele.

Question 7

is there any problem using mass gainer it cause testicular cancer? i used ones carnivor mass gainer.?

Accepted Answer

: Since the government doesn't investigate supplements most physicians are reluctant to endorse them for fear of contaminants for one reason.  However in reviewing the ingredients, I don't see any that would make you prone to testicular cancer. Verify this information with your pharmacist.

Question 8

need expert help here. what are causes/symptoms of testicular cancer?

Accepted Answer

A mass: Almost without exception, testicular cancer announces itself as a mass in the testis. Usually it's palpable as a lump on or within the testis; it may be deep and the testis simply larger.

Question 9

what to do if i was just wondering how testicular cancer is caused, and what are signs of it?

Accepted Answer

Mass is common: Testicular cancer is usually detected by a mass or firmness in the testicle (scrotum). They can be quite small, but any abnormality in size or shape of the testicle should be evaluated. Ultrasound and blood tests for specific hormones (plap, hcg, alpha-fetoprotein, etc) can be used to detected if there is systemic disease.

Question 10

can masturbating cause testicular
cancer?

Accepted Answer

Some handy facts...: Normal men, women, boys, and girls masturbate (it's universal). It isn't harmful, as the body goes through similar effects during regular sex with a partner (but too much of anything may become a problem). Masturbation does not cause cancer, stunt height, cause hair loss or gray hair, make you weak, create heart problems, lower testosterone, affect virginity, lower fertility, or damage eyes.
