∙ 13y agoOnce a month, a man should do a testicular self exam to check for any anomalies. It is best to do this at the end of a long hot shower, standing up. Simply take your fingers and gently examine the surface of each testicle. They should feel like a boiled egg without the shell. At the top and back of each testicle, it should feel like there are connective tissues which some people say feels like cooked spaghetti. If you feel any lumps anywhere else, you should see your doctor. There is typically no pain or discomfort with testicular cancer in the early stages, so a self exam is important.

If you have one undescended testicle which of your two testes is more likely to develop cancer?
For people with one undescended testicle who develop cancer, the undescended testicle is the one that has the cancer 80% of the time. Since the descended testicle can develop cancer 20% of the time, removal of the undescended testicle is rarely performed anymore as it used to be. Careful examination of the testicles is important, especially in someone who has history of an undescended one. Hope this helps! Dr. B.
