And the only way to know is to get checked. When a man waits, he delays care \u2014 often for something a physician could clear up in minutes. Or a doctor could find something that could save his life.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            During my urology rotation in medical school, I checked my own testicles for the first time. I found something, freaked out and made myself an appointment. Like my recent patient, it turned out I had a benign cyst \u2014 almost certainly there my whole life. I just never knew what my \u201cnormal\u201d felt like before that milestone moment.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            That\u2019s why I recommend that patients get in the habit of doing regular self-exams. You don\u2019t need to obsess, and there are no formal guidelines requiring monthly checks. But getting familiar with your normal anatomy \u2014 by checking periodically while showering \u2014 helps you recognize change when it happens. The whole exam takes less than two minutes.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The more you know your baseline, the easier it is to notice when something is off.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"01-novartis.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-3810\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/d55a35337f137113e87a94c8f3615e64.jpg\" width=\"256\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Novartis\/YouTube<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n<span>The real message behind a humorous Super Bowl ad was to target men\u2019s fear<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<div>5  min read<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<h2>\n        Testicles have 2 main functions\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            The testicles\u2019 first key task is making sperm.

These sperm can take about three months to grow, mature and make it out into the ejaculate.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The testes\u2019 second essential job is making male sex hormones \u2014 primarily testosterone. Specialized cells called Leydig cells produce most of the testosterone in a man\u2019s body. Testosterone is responsible for muscle mass, bone density, libido, mood, energy \u2014 all essential to a man\u2019s function.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            It\u2019s ideal to have two testicles, but men can function with one.

In the final months of pregnancy, the testicles descend through a passage called the inguinal canal to land in the scrotum, the pouch that protects them for the rest of a man\u2019s life.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            That descent is the reason testicles hang outside the body and why testicular pain can radiate up the abdomen. Sperm production works best at a temperature slightly cooler than core body temperature.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The scrotum is a temperature-controlled chamber that adjusts itself \u2014 pulling the testicles closer to the body when it\u2019s cold and lowering them when it\u2019s warm. That\u2019s why everything looks different in a cold pool versus a hot shower.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Expressing feelings can help men learn how to overcome shame.\" class=\"wp-image-3812\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/b587990126e8d04f525be2ea2debc7e9.jpg\" width=\"256\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Expressing feelings can help men learn how to overcome shame.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>andreswd\/E+\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n<span>Digging into the vulnerable parts of men\u2019s lives they often don\u2019t show<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<div>7  min read<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<h2>\n        What\u2019s actually down there\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            The scrotum usually contains two testicles. Each one is an oval organ, smooth and firm, roughly the size of a small egg. Inside, the testicle is full of small, packed tubules called seminiferous tubules, where sperm is produced.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Attached to the back of each testicle is a soft, wormlike structure called the epididymis, where sperm mature. From there, sperm travel up through the vas deferens, a long tube that runs out of the scrotum into the lower pelvis to enter the ejaculatory ducts. This vas is the same tube that gets cut during a vasectomy.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=3790\">Is Trump celebrating the country, or himself, on America\u2019s 250th?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            Everything that keeps the testicle alive and functional runs through the spermatic cord \u2014 arteries, veins, nerves and lymphatics, bundled together along with the vas deferens.

One is slightly larger than the other, which can be on either side. What\u2019s that soft, lumpy wormlike structure along the top and back of each testicle? That\u2019s the epididymis, not a tumor. A cordlike structure extending from the top of each testicle is the spermatic cord. Cysts can form on the testicle or epididymis, but they are usually benign.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            You may find enlarged veins above the testicle that feel like a small bag of worms. This may be a varicocele  \u2014 a common and usually harmless condition \u2014 but it\u2019s worth mentioning to a doctor if it\u2019s new and painful or you have concerns aboutfertility.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Testicles that move up and down depending on temperature, exercise or arousal are also normal.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The weight and hormone impacts that can come from GLP-1 medications may help male infertility problems.\" class=\"wp-image-3228\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4bcf7e7a888993d3873d4f93858dfdaf.jpg\" width=\"256\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>The weight and hormone impacts that can come from GLP-1 medications may help male infertility problems.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Tatsiana Volkava\/Moment RF\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n<span>Scientists say GLP-1s improved male testosterone levels and sperm count<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<div>3  min read<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<h2>\n        What\u2019s not normal\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            A firm, painless lump on the testicle itself is a red flag. It is the classic presentation of testicular cancer. About 9,800 men in the United States will be diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2026, according to the American Cancer Society. The disease is most common in younger and middle-aged men, especially those in their 20s and 30s, and it is one of the most treatable cancers when found early \u2014 survival is about  99% when caught early.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            If you find a firm lump, you should get to a doctor right away, even if you feel fine. Most testicular cancers are painless, but pain doesn\u2019t rule cancer out. Very easily, an exam, ultrasound and\/or lab work can help sort a benign tumor from cancer.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Cyclist Lance Armstrong\u2019s 1996 diagnosis made testicular cancer a household conversation. Earlier this year, Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson had a similar scare. His lump was painful and turned out to be epididymitis  or inflammation of the epididymis \u2014 not cancer.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Tender swelling, redness or warmth \u2014 sometimes with painful or frequent urination or fever \u2014 may be epididymitis, the condition Johnson had. It\u2019s treatable, often with antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and rest.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Sudden, severe pain in one testicle could be testicular torsion \u2014 the spermatic cord twisting on itself and cutting off blood supply. Torsion is a medical emergency, full stop. If the testicle is not untwisted within hours, it can be lost.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Cyclist is on road at the Colorado National Monument near Grand Junction.\" class=\"wp-image-3814\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1631bd9a120f0af6803b9a8891e778cf.jpg\" width=\"256\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Cyclist is on road at the Colorado National Monument near Grand Junction.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Tyler Stableford\/Stone RF\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n<span>Can biking kill your sex life?

During the physical exam, the physician will check the scrotum, the testicles, the epididymis and the spermatic cord. The doctor is checking for the same things you would feel for at home, just with more experience.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            From there, the workup depends on what a doctor finds. The urologist may order a scrotal ultrasound to get a clearer picture of the testicle and the surrounding structures. It\u2019s the same basic test Johnson described having after his scare.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Doctors may check your urine if they suspect infection, blood work for tumor markers if cancer is on the differential, or hormone levels if testosterone is part of the conversation. Occasionally, urologists will order an MRI if they want a closer look at the anatomy within the testicle.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Depressed man sitting on bed in an empty room.
