Autoexamen testicular - Riesgos

Consideraciones especiales:

Una protuberancia o masa en el testículo a menudo es el primer signo de cáncer testicular; por lo tanto, si la persona encuentra una, debe acudir al médico de inmediato. Se debe tener en cuenta que algunos casos de cáncer testicular son asintomáticos hasta que alcanzan una etapa avanzada.
