What symptom does testicular cancer have

Symptom 1: almost all testicular cancers are malignant. The main pathological type of testicular cancer is spermatogonial cell carcinoma.

Testicular cancer is mainly characterized by gradual and painless enlargement of testis. Patients can feel the heaviness of the affected testis, but most of them have no pain. When the tumor is bleeding or infarction, pain can appear.

Symptom 2: testicular cancer is mostly accompanied by retroperitoneal lymph node enlargement, which can cause back pain. If it is transferred to the intestinal tract, it can cause anorexia, abdominal distension, pain and discomfort. If it is transferred to the bone, it can cause bone pain, pathological fracture, etc. if it is transferred to the lung, it can cause cough, hemoptysis, chest tightness, etc.

Symptom 3: testicular cancer has no conscious symptoms, so the diagnosis needs to be combined with physical examination and some auxiliary examinations. During physical examination, the swollen testis can be touched, which is tough, and the light transmission test is negative. The levels of alpha fetoprotein, human chorionic gonadotropin, and testicular tumor markers are increased. B-ultrasound can show that the internal echo of the enlarged testis is uneven, and the blood flow signal is increased.
