Thomas Maubon, urologist at the Paoli-Calmettes Institute, wants to be reassuring. For him, testicular cancer is “a disease that is very treatable provided that people are taken care of quickly“. This condition affects nearly 3,000 people in France, especially young people.
And for the specialist, one of the weapons for detecting testicular cancer is self-palpation. As with breast cancer in women, doctors are increasingly inviting patients to perform this benign procedure. It is still necessary to know the exact contours. This is precisely what Thomas Maubon describes. To practice self-palpation, simply use a “two or three fingers“and if everything is normal”you should feel something relatively deformable and soft“.
A slightly different and a little harder area is not to be taken lightly. Sometimes what leads to consultation is a painful episode in this area even if it turns out to be “less common” according to the specialist. In any case, if you feel something abnormal, go to a specialist and do not hesitate to rush the secretaries so as not to have three months to wait before an appointment because it This is a crucial time to preserve all chances of recovery.
Once the consultation is done, “the urologist will be able to quickly direct his diagnosis to cancer“. If cancer is confirmed, ” The announcement of the disease is not a pleasant moment but you should know that, at diagnosis, 70% of these cancers are localized to the testicles. That means there is nothing else.“As the disease develops rapidly, the specialist insists on the need to consult a doctor quickly to take stock.
