Testes are one of the most important patrs of male reproductive system. Testes are responsible for production of sperm (which is the source of human life together with the female egg) and testosterone which starts at puberty. The testicular cancer is the development of cancerous/ malignant cells in the testes.Causes of testicular cancerThe exact causes of testicular cancer are not known completely and are still a matter of research and analysis. However, the risk of testicular cancer is more for persons who have a testilce that has failed to descend.
Genes/ family history is generally quoted as another cause of testicular cancer.Symptoms of testicular cancerSwelling of a testicle could be the sign of testicular cancer. However, not all such swellings are testicular cancer. Such swellings could be caused by other conditions too (most of wihch are harmless).
The lump (the testicular cancer) may or may not be accompanied by pain; so, do not consider the absence of pain as an indication of benign tissue. However, if you are in doubt then you should immediately contact a qualified doctor for advice.
Detection of testicular cancer in its early stages can really prevent it from spreading around and substantially raise the effectiveness of treatment.Diagnosis of testicular cancerThe first step in the diagnsois of testicular cancer is physical examination. The doctor can bleieve the lump and based on his/her observation recommend further testicular cancer tests. The next step is an ultrasound scan of the testes. The final diagnosis of testicular cancer inovlves biopsy.
This test can confirm if the lump is malignant or benign.
One important part of diagnosis of testicular cancer is to determine whether the testicular cancer is localized to that testicle or whether it has spread to other orgnas of the body.Treatment of testicular cancerAs for most types of cancer, the treatment of testicular cancer too is done in three ways i.E. surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The hottest thing about the treatment of testicular cancer is that it is very successful for most patients. However, the golden rule that's applicable to all types of canecr is true for testicular cancer too i.E.
catch it ealry to raise the effectiveness of treatment.
Also, it’s worth noting that removal of one testicle (as part of surgical proecdure for treatment of testicular cancer) doesn’t really effect your reproductive system (and if you want you can get a dummy testicle placed in the place of the removed testicle; just so it doesn’t look bad).Warren and Karen have been involved in the internet for a number of years and run several websites.
They are most interested in providing opportunities for persons to connect with information relating to business, health and creativity.
