Check your NUTS
Early detection saves lives. Testicular cancer is highly treatable if caught early. Here's how to check yourself in 3 simple steps.
The 3 step self check
Best done once a month after a warm bath or shower.
01
Check one at a time
Hold your scrotum in the palm of your hands. Use your fingers and thumb to roll each testicle gently.
02
Feel for changes
Look for lumps, swelling, or changes in size, shape, or consistency. It should feel firm but smooth.
03
Know your normal
It's normal for one to be slightly larger or hang lower. Get to know what's normal for you.
What to look for
- A painless lump or swelling in either testicle
- A change in how the testicle feels (harder or different)
- A dull ache or heavy feeling in the scrotum
- A sudden collection of fluid in the scrotum
- Pain or discomfort in a testicle or the scrotum
Found something?
If you notice any of these symptoms, don't wait. Most lumps are not cancer, but it's vital to get them checked by a GP immediately.
