I read an article in FHM which stated that if you have tiny spots on your scrotum that you might have testicular cancer! Is this true?

Totally inaccurate. Spots on your scrotum mean absolutely nothing. Don’t be concerned unless you feel lumps in your testicles or if you’re in pain.

Alright first off NO BAD COMMENTS ok also don’t laugh

i was in the bath the other day and i notice a small black dot probably 1 or 2 centimeters long and high and i was Curios so i picked at it Its in the skin but its like i guess a spot you could say but im a little worried cause i hear that sometimes it can be a sign of cancer and I would go see my doctor but i just don’t find it normal to show a person my testicles is there Any way i can find out without going to the doctor?
im also kinda worried if its a tic but More on if its cancer

ok first and foremost, sorry about the abbriviations at the end of the question, it turned out the question was too long so i had to make it smaller. now, I know that for men, if you have the laptop on your lap too long the heat from it damages your scrotum and you can’t have children (this is true i researched it) but can its radiation cause prostate cancer?

I’ve never heard of any radiation coming from laptops, and as far as the heat causing sterility, you’d have to have the laptop on your lap 24/7 for it to have that effect.
Hope this helps

I found a small lump on my scrotum and I was a little worried it may be testicular cancer. Its a lump and not a zit like thing. Any advice?

No testicular cancer is on the testicle.

I’ve been recently having some symptoms of testicular illnesses. In the past, about 9-12 months ago, I has similar problems but with physical therapy and I guess some Ibuprofin, they eventaully went away. Is this type of coming and going possible, not possible or unlikely with testicluar illensses, especially signifigant ones like cancer?

Absolutely, go to the doctor and get it checked out. Call today! The "coming and going" is possible. You don’t feel it every day so it’s easy to ignore. Testicular cancer is generally a small, hard, painless lump which can protrude the scrotum slightly. Often it is only felt when you’re in a warm shower but not necessarily every time. Also, feel your breasts around your nipple if they are sore … this is a another symptom caused by an elevated hormone level associated with TC.

AGAIN – call today. Make an appointment for as soon as possible. If it is testicular cancer, every day counts and 9 months is far too long to wait.

I have a maltese, and i was told that maltese’s have a high chance of getting testicular cancer if they are not neutered, (we’re trying to breed him). Very recently, my brother found a lump on it and it’s sort of mis-colored, like turning black- i’m really worried, and I’m planning on taking him to the vet, but I wanted to know if anyone knows what it could be-

If you can see it on the outside, it is not testicular cancer. It may just be the skin of the scrotum callusing and turning colors, which is normal. I would have the dog neuter around 7 years old, and earlier if you are done breeding him.
