: HeLLo im jay im 15 year old . I have noticed that my left testie is larger then the right one, my left testie have like some extention from the testie. Im really concerned that it might be testicular cancer.. as  i read in my health class . One symptom of Testicular cancer can be largeness of one of the Testie. Althought i have no pain what so ever in groin or any area around the testie or stomach. I have no urination problem. BUT IM REALLY CONCERNED that this could just be sign of Testicular cancer. Im too embrassed to ask anyone about this even my friends and my dad. PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS MESSAGE. THaNKING YOU
: Jay =)
Jay,
I'm not the doctor, so keep checking back for their answer.
I am sure, however, that they are going to suggest that you see your doctor about this to get it checked out. Lumps on the testicle can certainly be cancer, but it will probably take a doctor to tell the difference between cancer and something normal.
If this lump were on your eye, would you see a doctor about it? Well, I think you would, and therefore it only makes sense to see a doctor about your testicle.
BTW, the left testicle is almost always largerand lower than the right one.

what are the signs of Testicular cancer !!! ! and if u dont get tested what can be the result of testicular cancer
Signs include a hard, painless, pea sized lump ON the testicle itself; a feelingness of heaviness in one testicle; a swollen or atrophied testicle; in some cases pain is present, in others there is no pain.
The consequences of not treating testicular cancer would be spread to the abdominal lymph nodes, the lungs, brain, and liver, eventually causing death.
