testicular self-examination

Testicular self-examination (TSE) is a simple process where a person checks their testicles for any unusual lumps, swelling, or changes. It’s best done after a warm shower when the scrotum is relaxed. Gently roll each testicle between your fingers, looking for any hard spots or changes in size. This should be part of regular health checks, as early detection of issues like testicular cancer can be crucial. If you notice anything unusual, consult a healthcare professional promptly for further evaluation. Regular self-examinations can help maintain awareness of your body and promote overall health.
