There are many types of cancer a person may develop, testicular cancer is cancer that men develop in the testes. This form of cancer is quite curable. It is quite common in males from the United States who are between the ages of fifteen and 35. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, older men can develop this form of cancer as well. For the past several decades the rate for this type of cancer has been on the rise in the United States as well as in several other countries. There are several types of testicular cancer that a male may develop. Seminomas are typically limited to the testes and found in men in their 30s through 40s. It is a slow-growing type of cancer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-seminomas are typically made from more than one type of cell and tend to grow and spread more quickly. Here are 8 tips that all men should consider in order to help prevent the development of testicular cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Regular Self Exams
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While doing a regular self-exam of the testes is not going to prevent a person from getting testicular cancer, it can help as it can allow a person to be diagnosed at an early stage. The earlier this type or any type of cancer is found, the better the results will be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A self-exam should be done after a warm bath or shower. The warm water will help to relax the skin located on the scrotum. This makes it easier to feel for anything unusual such as a lump<\/a>. Use both hands in order to examine the testes. Make sure that you examine each one individually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The index and the middle finger are placed under the testicle with the thumb on top. Next, roll the testicle between the fingers and the thumb and not anything that is not normal. This could be a lump or fluid. Report anything that you find to your doctor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Yearly Examinations
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In addition to giving yourself a self-exam on a regular basis, it is also important to make sure that you go to your doctor at least once per year for a regular examination. Your doctor will be able to examine your testicles <\/a>for any type of abnormality that may appear in the testes. This may include fluid build-up or a lump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The size may also be a cause for further testing. The test that the doctor administers will be similar to the one that you give yourself. However, a doctor is better qualified to know whether or not something is really wrong. If the doctor notices that there is some type of abnormality, they may order further testing to be conducted in order to determine the underlying cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going for a yearly checkup with your doctor is important as detecting any issues early is one of the ways to ensure that it can be taken care of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Reducing Chemical Toxin Exposure
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One thought about testicular cancer is that it may be caused by phthalates as well as other compounds that disrupt the endocrine system. Phthalates are chemicals that mimic hormones and are often used in household items such as plastics, carpets, pesticides, toiletries, car upholstery, and pharmaceutical drugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These chemicals are harmful to male reproductive health and can cause a deformation of the penis, infertility<\/a>, undescended testicles, and maybe a factor in the development of testicular cancer. Women who are pregnant should also avoid contact with these environmental chemicals as much as possible. It is possible that exposure while in the womb is one of the causes for the rise in testicular cancer rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The abnormal changes that cause testicular cancer to happen during the first few months when the fetus is developing. Avoiding these chemicals while you are pregnant can help reduce the risk of developing testicular cancer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Build up Immunity
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the best ways to prevent the development of testicular cancer as well as other types of cancers and diseases is to make sure that you are giving your immune system the support that it needs in order to function at its optimum level.
