hello, my name is jack and I am 13 years old. Over the past 5 months I have noticed lumps in both of my testicales and my father said it was part of puberty I am still worried. Can someone tell me if I am okay or I need to ask a doctor.
thank you for your time
jack
Hi Jack
You are probably to young to have testicular cancer as it tends to be something that develops later in life.
Just to put your mind at ease why don't you ask your dad to make an appointment to see your doctor just to make sure everything is okay.

I have read that you can not ejaculate if you have testicle cancer in both testicles. Is this true?
Testicular cancer is a lump on the testicle and I would think that should not prevent you from being able to ejaculate.
I found this information and it may help but like I said any doubt see your doctor also if you search for the age when testicular cancer can occur that may help you as well.
You can’t be sure you have testicular cancer based on symptoms alone, so it’s important
to see a doctor about any testicular symptoms that concern you. Don’t wait.
Symptoms in the testicles
The most common symptom of testicular cancer is a painless lump on or in a testicle.
Sometimes the testicle may become swollen or larger, without a lump. (It’s normal for
one testicle to be slightly larger than the other, and for one to hang lower than the other.)
Some testicular tumors might cause pain, but most of the time they do not. Men with
testicular cancer may also have a heavy or aching feeling in the lower belly or
scrotum.
Each normal testicle has a small, coiled tube (called the epididymis) that can feel like a
small bump on the upper or middle outer side of the testicle. Normal testicles also contain
blood vessels, supporting tissues, and tubes that carry sperm. All these things can feel
bumpy, and sometimes men confuse these normal structures with cancer. If you have any
doubts, ask a doctor.
Hope it helps put your mind at ease Jack.
