Guys, do you know what makes for healthy testicles? And what signs indicate they might not be? To check if your testicles are in good shape, there are just three simple steps! Moreover, if you notice any of these four symptoms, you must see a doctor immediately!

“Three steps to self-check testicle health:

Step 1: Hold the testicle and use your thumb and index finger to gently rotate and feel the surface.

Step 2: Gently press to feel the texture of the testicle; the firmness should be between that of a boiled egg and an iron egg. If it is too soft or too hard, it could indicate a problem.

Step 3: On the back, you should feel an irregular and soft epididymis.

A reminder to all men: if you notice any hard lumps, swelling, pain, or unusual discoloration in the scrotum while checking your testicles, do not delay—seek medical attention from a urologist immediately. Additionally, men who work in high-temperature environments should be particularly cautious. Testicles need to be kept 2 to 5 degrees cooler than body temperature to function properly, as prolonged exposure to high temperatures can impair sperm production.
