A member asked:

Does getting hit in the testicles lead to cancer?

No: Testicle cancer is not caused by trauma. Trauama can lead to bleeding, infection, and damage requiring its removal but over the long term, testicle cancer does not develop.

No: Ten percent of males diagnosed with testicular cancer give a history of recent trauma to the testicle. It is not thought that the trauma causes the cancer, but rather that it brings an existing tumor to the attention of the patient and physician.

No: This doesn't make sense biologically, and people have looked at this and found no relationship.
