Can injury to urethra while masturbating cause testicular cancer?


Dear expert/doctor,

I am 26 year old male who suffered from testicular cancer in rigth testicle. I am wondering if injury due to accidental urethral insertion of some object while masturbating can be the cause? Please advise me as I am very anxious at this moment.

Thank You
