What causes testicular tumors?

Testicular tumors are also known as testicular cancer. Testicular cancer affects the fertility of patients, and severe patients may even need to undergo testicular removal. Many people will feel very painful testicles at the beginning of testicular cancer, but most patients do not fully understand why they have testicular cancer. Here is a brief introduction to what causes testicular tumors.

It is now widely known that patients with primary testicular malignancies may also develop malignant tumors on the lateral testicle. The incidence of testicular tumors is extremely low, about 1 in 50,000. Among malignant testicular tumors, the incidence of lateral testicular tumors is 1.2%-5.8%. Some people believe that the application of platinum-containing chemotherapy regimens in the past 10 years has increased the cure rate of testicular tumors and prolonged the survival period, resulting in a tendency for the incidence of second primary testicular tumors to increase.

In bilateral testicular tumors that occur simultaneously or non-simultaneously, the pathological type is mostly spermatogonia, while other germ cell tumors are rare. Non-simultaneous bilateral testicular tumors occur at an older age, with 81.8% of patients over 45 years old. This may be related to the fact that patients with seminoma are easily cured by radiotherapy or chemotherapy and have a longer survival period. Occult testicles in the abdominal cavity or inguinal groove are one of the risk factors for testicular tumors.

The above are some of the causes of testicular tumors. Everyone must pay attention to protecting their testicles in daily life, and be very careful and moderate in their sexual life. When treating testicular tumors, you must pay attention to your diet and avoid eating irritating foods to prevent the disease from becoming more and more serious.
