ok...it's for a good cause. We remind women to check themselves for breast cancer all the time. Men need to be aware too. You're not going to see naked men as soon as you click the link, you're warned first. But this is important, men need to know how to check themselves.
If you have testicles, then you are at risk for testicular cancer. It has no real face; it can affect any man with testicles.
If you catch it early, it's got a super-high cure rate. Also, it's easy to spot.
All you have to do is check once a month. Maybe in the shower?
Maybe a quick squeeze while watching TV on the couch.
Hey, as long as your hands are in your pockets, you could check then.
It's up to you; just do it. To learn how, you can watch the video below. (And if I didn't warn you enough yet: From 0:42 to 2:19, from 3:05 to 3:20, and again around 3:45, you will see these men checking their testicles for cancer ... so that you will also know how to check your testicles for cancer.)
video at link. along with a bunch of funny pictures. http://www.upworthy.com/a-football-team-is-taking-their-towels-off-to-show-men-how-to-check-for-cancer?c=ufb1

(81,511 posts)Thanks for posting this, one_voice! It makes total sense. And the point is well made - we women are reminded all the time to check for breast cancer. So why wouldn't a man need the relevant information, as well? This is important! Cancer comes in MANY forms, after all.
