A member asked:
If i developed testicular cancer in one of my testies what are the chances of developing another in the left one.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Increased: Though not by much. You'll bank your semen if you need to have both operated, and your hormones can be replaced to keep you happy and virile. At age 28, you should be enjoying your youth rather than fretting about uncommon health problems. Thankfully, the vast majority of testicular cancers are curable nowadays.
