Testicular Cancer Awareness Month April 2025
Testicular cancer is relatively rare, has a very high survival rate and commonly affects men between the ages of 15-45.
Most testicular lumps are not cancer, but it is still important to be checked out by your doctor.
It is estimated that 8,000 to 10,000 men will develop testicular cancer each year, finding cancer early can mean that treatment is more likely to be successful.
What to look out for
Symptoms include a testicle that gets bigger, a lump, a heavy scrotum.
These symptoms can be similar to other conditions and are unlikely to be cancer but see a doctor if they persist or are unusual for you.
Support for Those Affected
Testicular Cancer Awareness Month also focuses on providing support to those diagnosed with the disease. Many organisations offer resources for patients, family members, and caregivers, including:
- Emotional support services
- Information on treatment options
- Advice on managing symptoms and side effects
- Ways to connect with others who are going through similar experiences
If you or someone you know is living with bowel cancer, reach out to support groups, healthcare providers, and charities that can provide invaluable assistance.
Key Organisations to Follow
- It’s In The Bag – A charity providing information, support, and funding for bowel cancer research.
- Macmillan Cancer Support – Offers support for anyone affected by cancer, including those with testicular cancer.
- Cancer Research UK – Provides up-to-date information on bowel cancer and ongoing research into treatments and prevention.
Remember: early detection saves lives!
