Yes it does. I have testicular cancer. I was recently diagnosed with it. My doctor told me that while you still have the cancer in your body it decreases testosterone and causes things like breast tenderness and enlargement. Also you may become more emotional. But the treatment which is a nightmare in itself. Removing the affected testicle through surgery will restore your testosterone to normal levels. In certain cases men take medication to boost testosterone. Ask your doctor.

Does the drug combo for metastatic breast cancer make a women more manly?
Not generally, though it can likely impact hormonal balance, which can potentially cause a woman to seem "less womanly", for sure. Women's bodies do create a small amount of testosterone but, without the introduction of an outside catalyst for testosterone (i.e. anabolic steroids, etc.), there is no obvious reason that only this level would increase when levels of estrogen and progesterone (the "feminizing" hormones) might decrease. While increases in testosterone CAN, under certain circumstances, initiate a decrease in estrogen and progesterone production, a decrease in the "feminizing" hormones do not initiate an automatic increase of testosterone in women. There is also no real medical correlation for most cancer-treating agents to directly cause a woman to have an increase testosterone alone (increases in feminizing hormones in the blood, by their very nature, will inhibit the utilization of testosterone in women).

Can the woman get cancer or infection if he has testicular cancer?
Testicular cancer is a type of cancer that specifically affects the testicles, which are part of the male reproductive system. It is extremely rare for a woman to develop testicular cancer because she does not have testicles. Testicular cancer occurs when there is uncontrolled cell growth in the testicles, leading to the formation of tumors. However, it's important to note that if a man has testicular cancer, it does not directly cause cancer or infection in a woman. Testicular cancer is not a contagious disease, and it cannot be transmitted from one person to another through sexual contact or any other means. In the context of a relationship, the primary concern when a man has testicular cancer is his own health and well-being. Treatment options for testicular cancer typically include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. These treatments are designed to address the cancer within the affected individual and do not pose a risk of causing cancer or infection in a partner. It's essential for individuals with testicular cancer to work closely with their healthcare providers to receive appropriate treatment and support. Partners can play a vital role in providing emotional support and understanding during the diagnosis and treatment process. If there are concerns about sexual health or fertility as a result of testicular cancer treatment, couples should discuss these issues with their healthcare team to explore available options and make informed decisions.

AAS (Anabolic/Androgenic) Steroids can cause testes to shrink because artificial testosterone is introduced into the body which causes the testes to stop producing natural testosterone.

The cancer is usually just in the testes, but it can spread to the lymph nodes. Seminomas are very sensitive to radiation therapy.Nonseminoma: This more common type of testicular cancer tends to grow more quickly than seminomas. Nonseminoma tumors are often made up of more than one type of cell, and are identified according to these different cell types:Choriocarcinoma (rare)Embryonal carcinomaTeratomaYolk sac tumorA stromal tumor is a rare type of testicular tumor.

Does smoking marijuana stems cause testicular cancer?
I looked up google because i wanted to see what it said and its not great. "Frequent or long-term use of marijuana may significantly increase a man's risk of developing the most aggressive type of testicular cancer, according to a study by researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The study was published today in the journal "Cancer." Researchers found that men who smoked marijuana at least once a week or since adolescence had twice the risk of being diagnosed with testicular cancer than men who had never smoked pot". http://blog.seattlepi.com/healthreport/archives/161589.asp Updated: They found what they call a correlation between the two. This is the same as saying 400 of the men with cancer drank tea regularly. The answer to this question is no. Smoking Marijuana does not cause testicular cancer, however a lot of the people who have it smoke weed. On top of that, a lot of people in general smoke weed.
