Testicular cancer usually occurs in young men. It is a malignant tumor formed by the transformation of testicular cells. If testicular cancer is not treated in time, the condition will worsen and cause greater harm to the patient's health. Here are some of the dangers of testicular cancer. 1. For patients with cryptorchidism, when the ectopic testicle develops malignant lesions, a gradually enlarging mass often appears in the pelvic cavity or inguinal area, and the absence of the ipsilateral testicle is found during physical examination. Testicular tumors can sometimes occur bilaterally, simultaneously or one after the other. Testicular tumors can occasionally cause symptoms of endocrine disorders, which often occur in patients with trophoblastic carcinoma, interstitial cell carcinoma, and embryonal carcinoma, manifesting as male breast hypertrophy, precocious puberty, or feminization. 2. Some patients often have symptoms similar to acute orchitis or epididymitis. After anti-inflammatory treatment, although the inflammation has been controlled, there is a lump that does not disappear. At this time, you should be alert to the possibility of testicular tumors. The initial symptoms of a very small number of patients with testicular malignancies are often caused by tumor metastasis. For example, the metastatic lymph nodes in the abdominal cavity merge into masses and compress the adjacent tissues and the celiac plexus, causing pain in the abdomen and lower back, and may also be accompanied by symptoms of gastrointestinal obstruction, or cough, shortness of breath, and blood in sputum due to lung metastasis. 3. Half of the patients often feel heaviness in the testicles, and sometimes feel a pulling sensation in the scrotum, lower abdomen, or groin. This is more obvious when jumping or running. Local symptoms worsen after standing for too long or being tired, accompanied by a feeling of falling or mild pain. The pain can be aggravated by accidental collision or squeezing. |
