testicular tumors

Testicular tumors are abnormal growths that develop in the testicles, which are the male reproductive organs that produce sperm and hormones. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Most common in younger men aged 15 to 35, symptoms may include a lump or swelling in the testicle, pain, or discomfort. The exact cause is often unknown, but risk factors include a history of testicular cancer or undescended testicles. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the affected testicle, and additional therapies like radiation or chemotherapy may be needed if the tumor is malignant. Early detection improves outcomes significantly.
