Article Summary
- Although testicular cancer is considered to be rare, it is the most common cancer in American males between the ages of 15 and 35.
- The good news is that testicular cancer is highly curable through natural alternative means and measures can be taken to help avoid testicular cancer from developing in the first place.
- There are two main types of testicular cancer: seminomas and nonseminomas. These cancers grow from the germ cells that make sperm. A stromal tumor is a rare type of testicular tumor that is usually not cancerous.
- Common signs of testicular cancer include:
- A swelling and/or lump in one or both of the testes (There may or may not be accompanying pain in the testes or scrotum)
- A heavy feeling in the scrotum
- A dull pain or feeling of pressure in the lower belly or groin
Symptoms of late-stage testicular cancer may include:
- Dull pain in the lower back and belly
- Lack of energy, sweating for no clear reason, fever, or a general feeling of illness
- Shortness of breath, coughing, or chest pain
- Headache or confusion
- Not all lumps on the testicles are tumors, and not all tumors are malignant (cancerous). Tests for testicular cancer include:
- Physical examination
- Abdominal and pelvic CT scan
- Blood tests for tumor markers: alpha fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotrophin (beta HCG), and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH)
- Chest x-ray
- Ultrasound of the scrotum
- Like all cancers, there are several steps one can take to help prevent testicular cancer. Such steps include:
- Eliminating toxins from your body and environment
- Building up your vital immune system
- Eating a very healthy, cancer-fighting, and immune boosting diet and avoiding unhealthy foods.
- A healthy lifestyle that includes physical activity, stress management, and regular direct and indirect sunshine
- Getting optimal daily nutrition through both diet and supplementation as needed
- Paying special attention to cleansing, restoring, and protecting your liver
- Making your body as inhospitable to cancer as possible
