according to scan 1of my testicle is located in groin.still it has risk of testicular cancer?

Question

When checking for testicular cancer, is it still a concern when there are lumps on the "tubes" leading from testicle to the body?

Answer 1

Urologist in future: Undescended testicles are at an increased risk of developing a cancer. This is especially true when they are not brought down into the scrotum by the first year of life, either on their own or with surgery. Ask a urologist to evaluate you.

Answer 2

Very low cancer risk: In a testicle located in the groin. Undescended testes within the abdomen have greatest risk, about 4%, of developing cancer. Testicle in groin is outside abdomen, & testis tumor can be diagnosed & treated early if palpable in groin. However, may be uncomfortable & might feel more comfortable if U have it removed or brought down surgically. It's up to U & can be discussed with a urologist.

Answer 3

In other ways.: The development of bladder cancer has little to do with the frequency of urination. It has everything to do with changes to the lining of the bladder, mostly due to exposure to toxins in the urine, such as from cigarette smoke & industrial chemicals. Inherited genetic factors play a role as well. For those that have developed bladder cancer, one of the symptoms can be frequent urination.

Answer 4

ACS: Please look up or go online and contact your local american cancer society and ask what is available in your area. www.cancer.org.

Answer 5

It depends: Results depend upon the stage of cancer. It is active for the adjuvant treatment and in metastatic disease. The side effects can include nausea and diarrhea. Occasionally there can be some blood count issues. The other side effect can be cold related temporary nerve injury that lasts a very short time. There also is a more long term nerve injury. Most people do tolerate this well. Hope this helps.

Answer 6

Probably not: In japan they showed it could happen, but with 40% peroxide. It's illegal in the usa, here we only get up to 3-5% no proof here.

Answer 7

Doubtful: The most common problem with the chronic use of peroxide is developing a yeast or fungal infection. This is due to the fact that the normal bacterial flora in the mouth has been disrupted and you get an overgrowth.

Answer 8

No proof: No evidence to support. See oral surgeon or ENT doc if you have any of these symptoms: Persistent mouth sore, persistent mouth pain, a lump or thickening in the cheek, a white/red patch on the gums, tongue, tonsil, or lining of the mouth, a sore throat, hoarseness or feeling that something is caught in the throat that does not go away, difficulty swallowing/chewing.

Answer 9

They are key: The normal hormones are key to vaginal health. In fact, after menopause, women can experience dryness, itching and atrophy due to the normal hormones.
