If you often feel testicular soreness, you may have testicular cancer. This disease is rare, with an incidence rate of about 1% in men. Men in their fertility peak are more likely to develop testicular cancer. Although this disease is a cancer, the cure rate is relatively high, and 95% of testicular cancer patients can recover through treatment. Testicular cancer can be caused by testicular trauma, endocrine disorders, and genetic infections. At present, the specific cause of testicular cancer is not very clear. So far, the most convincing evidence is the relationship between incomplete testicular descent (cryptotestis) and testicular tumors. A large amount of data confirms that the malignant rate of cryptotestis, especially abdominal cryptotestis, is much higher than that of normal descended testis. It is 3 to 14 times the incidence rate of normal people. It is currently believed that factors such as testicular germ cell abnormalities, elevated temperature, blood supply disorders, endocrine disorders, and gonadal dysplasia may be related to cryptotesticular malignancy. The relationship between cryptic testis and testicular tumors has attracted the attention of scholars from all over the world, who have emphasized that testicular fixation before the age of 6 is an effective measure to prevent cryptic testicular malignancy, and has achieved remarkable results. The incidence of cryptic testis in China is similar to that in other countries, but the proportion of cryptic testicular tumors is significantly higher than that in other countries, which may be related to the fact that China has not yet generally performed testicular traction and fixation on children with cryptic testis before school age. Testicular tumors include germ cell tumors and non-germ cell tumors, with the former accounting for more than 95% and the latter less than 5%. Although non-germ cell tumors are rare, they are diverse, mainly including functional tumors such as supporting cells, stromal cells and supporting cell-stromal cell tumors, and accessory tissue tumors such as mesothelioma, adenocarcinoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, mucinous cystadenoma, fibroepithelioma, melanoneuroectodermal tumor, lymphoma, etc. Testicular cancer can make the patient's testicles feel heavy in the early stages, and the early symptoms are typical. When the patient touches his testicles, he may find one or more lumps of varying sizes inside. After the onset of testicular cancer, the weight of the patient's testicles increases rapidly, and the patient will feel a heavy feeling when holding up the testicles with his hands. As the disease progresses, the lumps inside the testicles become hard and stone-like. |
