How to do a self-exam
  1. 1
    Pick a regular time — once a month
    After a warm shower or bath is best — the scrotum is more relaxed and easier to examine. Same time each month makes it a habit.
  2. 2
    Stand in front of a mirror
    Look for any swelling on the skin of the scrotum or any change in size, shape, or appearance compared to last time.
  3. 3
    Examine each testicle separately
    Use both hands. Roll the testicle gently between your thumb and fingers. It should feel firm, smooth, and oval-shaped — like a hard-boiled egg without the shell.
  4. 4
    Find the epididymis
    On the back/top of each testicle there's a soft, rope-like structure — the epididymis. This is normal anatomy. Knowing what's normal makes it easier to spot what isn't.
  5. 5
    Check both sides
    It's normal for one testicle to be slightly larger than the other and for one to hang lower. What you're watching for is CHANGE over time, not perfect symmetry.
  6. 6
    What to look for
    Most concerning: a hard, painless lump on or attached to the testicle. Also: a feeling of heaviness, sudden swelling, dull ache or pain in the lower abdomen or groin. Anything new gets a doctor visit — testicular cancer has >95% cure rate when caught early.
When to skip the log and call a doctor. Anything new, hard, painless, or growing — within days, not weeks. Sudden severe testicular pain (testicular torsion is a surgical emergency, mostly in adolescents and young adults), or sudden swelling with fever (epididymitis), are also urgent. The point of regular self-exam isn't to diagnose — it's to know your baseline so changes are obvious. Familiarity is the screening tool.
