How would I know I have testicular cancer?

There seems to be some growths….not necessarily hard bumps, on one of my testicles. Should I be afraid. Is there a clear/cut sign that I have testicular cancer? Sometimes the one that feels like it has a growth of some sort hurts like I was hit. It doesn’t hurt that bad though.

The signs of testicular cancer are:
pain
swelling
lumps in the testicular or groin area

This form of cancer usually affects men between the ages of 20 and 39. Usually they have also had a history of:
family history of cancer
an undescended testicle
abnormal testicle development

If this is a true growth, rather than a lump, chances are high that it is NOT cancer. However, the only way to know for sure is to see a doctor (preferably a urologist) as soon as possible. If you need more info, please don’t hesitate to email me.
