What are the dangers of not having surgery for testicular cancer

Testicular cancer has become the biggest threat to men's health. Many people with testicular cancer are always hesitant about the surgery recommended by the doctor because they do not understand the harm of not undergoing surgery for testicular cancer. So today we will take you to understand what are the harms of not undergoing surgery for testicular cancer?

Testicular cancer is a disease that must be treated surgically. If surgery is not performed, it will cause great harm to the body and affect life. The most serious consequence may be the loss of life. Below we list the hazards of testicular cancer if surgery is not performed:

1. The scrotum feels heavy. Since testicular tumors are formed by the massive growth of tumor cells, they are substantial masses. When they grow to a certain size, the weight of the testicles increases suddenly, and the patient will feel heavy and fall, which may even affect walking. If you hold up the testicles with your hands, it feels like holding up a stone, with a certain sense of weight.

2. Pain as a complication of testicular cancer: Nearly 90% of patients lose testicular sensation and feel no pain. Therefore, it is generally believed that the tumor is a painless scrotal mass. It is worth noting that acutely painful testicular tumors can also be seen in clinical practice, but they are often considered to be inflammatory signs. The cause of pain is bleeding or central necrosis in the tumor, or pain caused by testicular tumors invading tissues outside the testicle.

3. Painless lumps appear in the testicles; the testicles feel like stones when touched and are very hard, which is significantly different from the uniform swelling and soft texture of the testicles in normal testicular inflammation. Although the testicles are very hard, there is no pain when pressed, which is also different from orchitis.

4. Men experience pain in the lower abdomen, back or groin (the connection between the thigh and abdomen).

5. There is a sudden increase in fluid in the scrotum.

6. Other symptoms of testicular discomfort. Negative translucency test. Generally, when there is hydrocele, the translucency of the scrotum and testicles increases, and the translucency test is positive. However, testicular tumors grow densely and solidly, without fluid inside, and the translucency is greatly reduced. Most testicular cancer patients do not feel anything in their testicles, including pain, and usually think that the tumor is a painless scrotal mass.

The above are the dangers of not undergoing surgery for testicular cancer. I hope our work can help everyone. I also hope that all testicular cancer patients can start treatment as early as possible, actively cooperate with doctors, and recover their health as soon as possible.
