Q: When should I call a doctor?
A: A consultation with your doctor, preferably a Surgeon, is mandatory if you find a lump. In cancer, lumps may be painless.
Q: My testicles are not at the same levels. Is it abnormal?
A: No. The left testicle normally hangs a bit lower than the right. One testicle may also be larger than the other.
Q: Should I do a Testicular Self Examination every time I take a shower?
A: No. Testicular Self Examination has to be performed only once in a month. More frequent exams have been suggested to result in missing a slowly changing lump or a mass.
