💡 Fact of the Month

Did you know?
Testicular cancer is often painless in its early stages. Many men don’t experience discomfort, meaning a small lump or change can easily go unnoticed without regular self-checks.

If you notice any lump or change in your testicles:

  • Visit your GP immediately
  • Insist on an appointment
  • Request an ultrasound scan

Early detection saves lives.
