Main Symptoms of Testicular Cancer

Testicular cancer usually shows up as a quiet change in one testicle. Because the tumor grows fast, any new difference you can see or feel should be checked quickly. The first sign is a painless lump or firm area inside the ball. It feels like a small pea stuck to the front or side and does not go away. Heaviness follows. The sack feels weighted on one side, and the testicle may hang lower or turn inward. A dull ache or heavy throb can appear in the lower belly, groin, or even the lower back—pain that is felt far from... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer grows quietly at first, so early signs can feel like normal aging. When symptoms appear, they usually point to trouble with peeing or to the cancer pressing on nearby areas. The first clue is a weaker stream. You wait a few extra seconds to start, then the flow is slow, stops and starts, or finishes with a dribble. Frequency climbs. Day or night, you go every hour or two, yet each trip yields a small amount. Urgency can ambush you. A sudden “got to go now” feeling arrives with little warning, and holding it feels impossible. Blood may... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Testicular Hydrocele

A testicular hydrocele is a painless collection of fluid around the testicle. It forms slowly, like a water balloon inside the scrotum, and is usually noticed before it is felt. The first sign is a heavier or lower-hanging sac on one side. Pants fit differently, and the weight can pull when you walk. Swelling appears over weeks. The scrotum looks puffy but feels smooth, and the testicle inside seems to float in a small water bed. Heaviness grows by day’s end. Long standing or warm weather makes the sac feel fuller; lying down overnight often shrinks it. Pain is absent... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Non-Gonococcal Urethritis

Non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) is inflammation of the urethra caused by germs other than gonorrhea—most often chlamydia, but also common bacteria or viruses. It creeps in quietly and can mimic a plain bladder infection, so the clues are worth knowing. The star symptom is burning. It stings at the start of the stream and can linger for a few seconds after you finish. Itch or raw skin shows up at the tip. You catch yourself adjusting underwear or feel a warm tickle that doesn’t scratch away. Clear or milky discharge appears. It’s usually small—just a dot in your underwear or a... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Seminal Vesiculitis

Seminal vesiculitis is swelling and irritation inside the seminal vesicles—the paired pouches that mix most of your ejaculate fluid. Because these glands sit deep behind the bladder, the ache is felt in the pelvis, not in the sac. The first clue is a deep, dull ache above the pubic bone or in the lower back that gets worse after ejaculation. Ejaculate itself changes color. Instead of pearly white, it can be pink, rust-colored, or even contain small blood clots. Pain during climax is common. The deep pelvic muscles cramp for a few seconds, and the ache lingers for minutes to... Learn more
