I am not a doctor, but please take my advice and go to a doctor. A family member of mine was just recently diagnosed with testicular cancer and what you are describing needs attention ASAP.
Testicular cancers have a very high success rate. (I believe in the high 90 percentage) But ONLY if you go to the doctor. Please don't ignore this. It may be nothing, but are you willing to bet your life on it?
It is possible that the virus could cause cancer. It is estimated that 20% of cancers are caused by having had a virus.
Like the name says, it is a cancer of the testicles.
I learned from a consultant that it doesn't matter how hard you get hurt in the balls it will not cause cancer, but you would be better off going to your local gp/doctor.
Men between 15-50 get testicular cancer, but cases have been reported of men younger and older than that range. TC is the most common form of cancer for men 15-35. There is a higher risk rate for caucasian men, so rates are higher in Europe, UK, Canada, and Australia. Early detection can help ensure survival.
The exact cause of testicular cancer is unknown. There is no link between vasectomy and testicular cancer. Factors that may increase a man's risk for testicular cancer include:
Other possible causes include exposure to certain chemicals and HIV infection. A family history of testicular cancer may also increase risk.
Testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer in men between the ages of 15 and 35. It can occur in older men, and rarely, in younger boys.
White men are more likely than African-American and Asian-American men to develop this type of cancer.
There are two main types of testicular cancer: seminomas and nonseminomas. These cancers grow from germ cells, the cells that make sperm.
Seminoma: This is a slow-growing form of testicular cancer usually found in men in their 30s and 40s. 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:
A stromal tumor is a rare type of testicular tumor. They are usually not cancerous. The two main types of stromal tumors are Leydig cell tumors and Sertoli cell tumors. Stromal tumors usually occur during childhood.
No testicular torsion is when the spermatic chord gets twisted and cut off the blood supply to the teste, if it isn't treated VERY quickly the teste dies and begins to get gangrenous. Testicular cancer is a cancerous growth of one or both teste.

It's almost totally random.....the biggest risk factor is undescended testicle from birth, which ups your risk about 15-fold. And it affects caucasions more than Hispanics and MUCH more than African Americans.
Having said all that, it's rare and the odds of getting it are slim.
It is possible to get it at any age. It is most common for the ages of 20 to 34.
The most common symptom of testicular cancer is a lump, or swelling, in one of your testicles. Testicular lumps are most commonly found on either the front, or the side, of the testicle. They often feel like a hard, pea-sized swelling. Testicular cancer can also cause other symptoms, including: * a dull ache, or sharp pain, in your testicles, or scrotum, which may come and go, * a feeling of heaviness in your scrotum, * a dull ache in your lower abdomen, * a sudden collection of fluid in your scrotum (hydrocele), * fatigue, and * generally feeling unwell.
Yes! It just takes one sperm to do the job.... As long as that one testis is healthy, then the answer is yes.
It's difficult to offer any accurate advice based upon the limited information provided. However, it sounds as if it may be scrotal testicular eczema or dermatitis. There are two types: a wet, where there may de yellowish discharges and red scabbing. Or the dry type which displays as patches, often with discolouration, continual itchiness, and dry skin.
The latter may be treated with a Canesten cream. If there is persistent itchiness, then seek a Canesten Hydrocortisone which will help to reduce the itching. It may also be beneficial to consider wearing boxer shorts, which allow for more air circulation, or when sleeping, not wearing underwear at all.
It is important for males to check their testicles regularly for any change from normality. This may include a painless lump or swelling in a testicle, pain or discomfort in the scrotum, any enlargement of a testicle or change in the way it feels, a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum, a dull ache in the lower abdomen, back, or groin, or a sudden collection of fluid in the scrotum. If any of these are present, it's important to seek advice immediately from your health care provider.
Testicular cancer is cancer started in the testicles of a male. This type of cancer, as well as the other types, can spread to other area over time.
Some signs can include:
Both contain an epididymis, which will like a bump on the top or middle of the testicle. They also contain blood vessels and tubes (for carrying sperm).
If you have any sign of testicular cancer, or are concerned that you may have it, please see your doctor. It will not hurt to find out.

Maybe that's the way a guy was born, he's doing a trick, or he just had surgery.
No. I have not heard of that as a side effect.
It could be a cyst on the epididymus, or testicular torsion. But go and see your doctor to make certain what the problem is, testicular cancer is treatable but if it is left untreated it can kill.
Yes a 14 year old can have testicular cancer. However, only 5.4% of testicular cancer cases occur in men under the age of 20. The median age of men diagnosed with testicular cancer is 34 years of age.
If you have concerns about your testicles, best to see a doctor as other problems involving the testicles can also occur.
A biopsy is removing tissue from someone's body to test for the presence of cancer or other things. In this case the tissue is to be taken from the testicle.
Not unless they're (a) HIV positive AND (b) you have unprotected sex !
