Testicular Pain and Swollen Testicles
Another possible sign of testicular cancer is a sharp pain or dull ache around the testicles or groin. It may be caused by inflammation or the growth of cancer cells in the testicles. However, keep in mind that many other conditions would also cause this problem. These include trauma, injury, orchitis, epididymitis, inguinal hernia, testicular torsion, kidney stones, and more. Make sure to inform your healthcare provider as soon as possible to get a proper diagnosis. [2]
Along with pain around the groin or testicles, swelling in these body parts may indicate the presence of cancer cells. Like other forms of cancer, the condition would cause your testicles to swell up and become harder. This can be easily noticed by eyes when you are taking a shower or having sex with your partner. Talk with your doctor as soon as you notice swelling in the testicles, especially when it persists and makes you feel uncomfortable. [3]
