Testicular Cancer

[Iya.]

SO does that include 14 year olds ?

There is no "set age"

It depends how fast your body grows.

I'm 6 foot. Can you get a check up with your doctor without ur parents knowing.

And what are the stats for testicular cancer in men.

[Iya.]

Yes you can get one without your parents and ring them to ask?

about 1 in 1000 methinks, but that might be low/high - i went on a rough guess.

I dont know, Dan, but i think your parents should be aware of this situation, just incase you do have Testicular Cancer, so best to tell your parent(s) and then get an appointment just to be sure.

And i found this for the stats or whatever ;
Testicular cancer is a relatively rare cancer with less than 2,000 new cases registered every year in the United Kingdom (UK).

Yes you can get a check up in confidence my friend. just ask them for confidentiality and nobody will know about it. You can trust your doctor dude, and remember...do not worry!

hope that helps

What causes testicular cancer?
The causes of testicular cancer are unknown, but men born with an undescended testicle (one that remains in the abdominal cavity rather than descending into the scrotum) may be at greater risk of developing the disease.

Other factors that are thought to make testicular cancer more likely include:

having a brother who had testicular cancer
fertility problems
being from a wealthier social group
having a rare complication of mumps called mumps orchitis (painful swelling of the testis)


Found that, hope it answered your question Herman.

Ooh, thanks for that, +rep.

[Kymux]

Your welcome, Herman.

Your sperm doesn't travel through a vein - vein's carry blood.

Your most likely just worrying about something that doesn't need to be, but if you really are concerned I'd say go to the doctors and get it checked out! :]
