What are the symptoms of Testicular cancer?

There may be no symptoms. Symptoms that may occur can include:

Discomfort or pain in the testicle, or a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum

Pain in the back or lower abdomen

Enlargement of a testicle or a change in the way it feels

Excess development of breast tissue (gynecomastia), however, this can occur normally in adolescent boys who do not have testicular cancer

Lump or swelling in either testicle

Symptoms in other parts of the body, such as the lungs, abdomen, pelvis, back, or brain, may also occur if the cancer has spread.
