I use a laptop for around 4 hours a day (breaks every half an hour or so)
I regularly put it on my lap. I have been reading up on this and apparently some sources say that it can give you Testicular Cancer or other cancers. Please can someone tell me if this true, and the chances of this happening?

Thanks in advance.

It’s possible. I guess that’s why they called laptops, notebooks now.

I am a little older now but at around that age i noticed something. I had an undescended testicle when i was born. The growth or lump, is painless and is very visible and possibly is not attached to the testicle itself. The testicle itself is smaller then my other one but obviously that can be unrelated. There is no family history of this and if it is testicular cancer, what other symptoms should i feel?

To answer your question indirectly . .and not specifically about what is happened to you . . the answer is yes, boys can get testicular cancer at your age (though you are a bit young at 13) . .so, you should definitely go to a doctor to have this examined. No one here can tell you specifically what you have . . this needs to be seen by a medical doctor who can make an examination and diagnosis. Testicular Cancer affects males between the ages of 15 – 35. It is considered a germ cell cancer . . females will get ovarian cancer, and males testicular . . both are germ cell cancers.

This argument makes no sense! I am sure that if I got neutered that I wouldn’t get testicular cancer either.

I think that if someone uses this as an argument to have a dog neutered that they should have their brain removed to avoid brain cancer.

I’ve never heard this proposed as a reason for neutering dogs. I suppose technically it is true, but I am not aware that dogs tend to be especially susceptible to testicular cancer more so than other kinds of cancers, or even to cancers in general. As such, it is a very weak argument.

EDIT: Nick:

I did not say anything false. I did not say dogs never got testicular cancer. I said that I was not aware that dogs were especially susceptible to Testicular Cancer as compared to other kinds of cancers, or that dogs were especially susceptible to cancers in general as compared to other canine diseases.

While I am sorry that you have lost your dog to this illness, in the future I would advise you to carefully read other people’s words before you start flaming them.
