A member asked:

Mild injuries on the testicles is a risk factor for testicular cancer in the future?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Many people get a mild injury or two, to one or both testicles, from accidents, sports, or other physical activities. Such mild injuries don't seem to change a person's chances of getting testicular cancer. No worries.
