A member asked:

What is the way to perform a testicular self-examination when you only have one testicle?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No different: No different than if you had two, except maybe it only takes half the time? In all seriousness, having a single testicle should not hamper your ability to perform a thorough self-exam. I recommend doing it in a warm shower with lots of soap, once a month.
