Absolutely 100%,

I'm glad it was just a cyst, bet you felt relieved when you found out. D

Glad it was just a cyst!

I check regularly. :)

It takes like 2 seconds, and I usually just do it while I'm giving them a good wash in the shower.

It's just a shame all cancers aren't as easy to check for.

Just don't check too vigorously. Ouch. Lol

And if you do find something, don't be embarrassed to get it checked.

You would think that all things being equal, that funding, time spent and resources would be 50/50, male to female. But it is not. Such is life.

Personally; we need to look after ourselves and not be shy, to ask for help, advice from your doctor.

I found a lump on right , had it checked out just a cyst but will have to be drained. Really surprised to learn that the 15-49 age group is most at risk from testicular cancer so gent's check them today.

I'm going to take a moment to express some masculine solidarity here for the fact you have to have a cyst drained from pretty much the most delicate part of your anatomy. "It's not cancer" only goes so far to mitigate how much my eyes are watering in sympathy for you.

Eh, it's not a painful thing. It's just the area that makes it sort of touchy to our sensibilities.
The skin puncture is the biggest deal, and topical anesthetic covers it. Most people can't even feel the cyst wall.

As long as it's not a varicocoel, sticking a needle in it is pretty safe.
Just send the liquid off for cytology to make sure there's no bad cells floating around.
