You should be checking your balls about every fifteen to twenty minutes to see if you have all your marbles and that they are in the proper color coded positions

The best time to do this is after a shower when the skin around the testicles is loose. Using your thumb and forefinger roll each testicle gently around feeling for any lumps or bumps or changes. - usually painless. An abnormality might feel like a frozen pea. Don't get this confused with your epiditimis, which is the vessel that stores and delivers semen and runs across the back of each testicle under the skin. It feels like a little string on the back of each testicle - this is normal. Any lumps or change should be immediately reported to your primary care physician. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men between the age of 18 and 30. Take the time to check because it's also one of the best responsive cancers to treatment especially if caught early. Good luck!

You should be checking your testicles at least once a week. Daily doesn't hurt so that you know what they feel like when normal. What you are looking for are lumps or swollen areas. If they don't go away or get larger see a doctor asap. When checking your testicles you tighten the scrotum skin around them and then feel the testicle all around.

You are trying to feel an abnormal, hard, painless lump. If you check your scrotum once a month, you'll be able to tell if anything changes. If you feel a hard, painless lump, report it to your doctor right away. Most types of testicular cancer are very curable if caught early.

Obvious changes, @ lumps that are different or were not there before. Know the differences in YOUR body. YOU will know.
