Self exam: It is important to have a physician examine your testicles from time to time. While testicular cancer Between the late teens and early 30s, it can occur at any point in life. Self examination of the testicles, at least once per month, is recommended. You may not know what you’re feeling for but if you examine them regularly you can certainly detect changes.

A member asked:
I seems that every time I have a physical exam, my testicles pull up tight in my scrotum so the doctor cannot really examine them well. They usually hang down low at other times. Does anxiety cause the scrotum to contract and pull the testicles up?
