Finding it early

Knowing what is normal for you helps to find cancer early.

Being aware of what is normal for you

Cancers are easiest to treat when they are found early. It's useful to know how your body normally looks and feels, and this includes your testicles. This makes it easier for you to notice any changes.

It’s a good idea to look at and feel your testicles every now and then. But there’s no need to worry about doing it regularly in a set way at a set time.

A good time to look at and feel your testicles is after a warm bath or shower, when the scrotal skin is relaxed.

Check your testicles for:

• the size and weight
• any lumps or swellings
