Testicular cancer

To establish the presence and find out what type of testicular cancer it is, a thorough diagnosis is required. A timely visit to a urologist at the DIEVO Surgical Solutions Center and an accurate diagnosis give you a high chance of a complete recovery or stable remission.

Testicular cancer is a malignant tumor that affects the male reproductive glands. The main danger of this type of cancer is its rapid progression. The risk group includes mainly men aged 35-40 years, but there are cases when this type of cancer affects at an earlier age.

Causes and symptoms of testicular cancer

There are a number of factors that significantly increase the risk of various types of testicular cancer:

  • men suffered from cryptorchidism (non-descended testicle) in childhood,
  • in case of injuries,
  • suffered from viral orchitis,
  • prolonged use of estrogen contributes to the development,
  • heredity.

There are the following stages of testicular cancer in men

  • Stage I – the tumor is located within the scrotum. There is no metastasis to the lymph nodes and other organs;
  • Stage II – metastases in the retroperitoneal lymph nodes are already appearing;
  • Stage III – at this stage, the tumor spreads beyond the testicle. Metastases are detected not only in the lymph nodes, but also in distant organs (lungs, kidneys, etc.).

Testicular cancer in men is a rapidly progressive disease, so it requires timely diagnosis. It is recommended to undergo an examination by a urologist at least once or twice a year, even in the absence of alarming symptoms. The earlier the disease is detected, the easier it will be to treat.

A consultation with a urologist is necessary if:

  • there is a lump in the scrotum;
  • the testicle has significantly increased in size;
  • the texture of the testicle has changed (it has become soft or hard);
  • there is heaviness and pain in the testicle;
  • pain in the lower abdomen;
  • urinary disorders are noted;
  • loss of tactile sensitivity in the testicle.

Diagnosis and treatment

The Department of Oncourology at the Dievo Center provides comprehensive diagnostics of diseases of the genitourinary system in men and the urinary system in women.

The modern equipment that our clinic is equipped with allows us to detect oncology, including testicular cancer, at early stages. If during the consultation, the urologist finds pathological changes in the scrotum that may indicate the development of testicular cancer, the patient will be referred for a number of additional tests.
