Guest Posted 10 October 2008 Posted 10 October 2008 If he ever gets to see these messages, then all best. Hopefully, it will increase awareness of a really nasty disease that unnecessarily kills many men before their time. Remember fellas, check yer balls!! (No, I am not offering.....)

Daggers Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 Because of the relative profile of him, it'd be nice if he did a bit to help raise awareness of carrying out frequent self-examinations to check for nut-lumps. The most common symptom is swelling in part of one testicle. This is usually painless, but some men may notice an ache in their lower abdomen or in the affected testicle. There may be a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum. In a few men the testicle suddenly becomes swollen and very tender.When a normal testicle is examined, it is round, soft and smooth. The epididymis can be felt behind it as a separate structure. Cysts and benign swellings in the epididymis are quite common and are usually harmless. Lumps in the body of the testes itself may be benign but can be a cancer. It is sensible to have any swelling examined by a doctor. A few men may find that their first symptoms (such as backache, stomach ache, or a cough) are caused by spread of the cancer cells to other parts of the body. Rarely, tender nipples may be caused by hormonal changes within the body. If you have any of the above symptoms it is important to let your doctor know – but remember, they are more likely to be due to conditions other than cancer. Cancers that are found early are the most easily treated. The best way to check for testicular cancer is to examine yourself once a month and the best time to do this is after a warm bath or shower, when the scrotal skin is relaxed. If you would like to find out more about testicular self-examination, Cancerbackup can send you a leaflet. If you find a swelling in a testicle, it is very important that you have it checked by your doctor as soon as possible. If you feel embarrassed about seeing your GP, you can go to your local sexual health clinic. The details will be in the health section of your local phone book.

Do you know, it had never occurred to me feel my own bollocks until now. It's quite nice, I might do it more often.
Darkzzz_ Posted 3 December 2008 Posted 3 December 2008 I must admit I always check just to be on the safe side. Good luck to Geoff with what ever he decides to do next.
