Testicular cancer: The self test you are looking for is called a physical exam! basically you must be familiar with your own body in order to notice any changes. Men are really supposed to exam their testicles once a month just as women are asked to exam their breasts once a month. Just pick a day of the month and get it done. If you feel a knot or lump see your doctor.

No tests, but...: If you see a urologist, a testicular exam is usually part of the routine physical examination. But testicular cancer is a rare disease, and there are no widespread screening programs for it, making self-examinations important. If you feel a lump inside the scrotum, please see your primary care physician or urologist without delay.
