Testicular Self-Examinations
Testicle Tuesday!!
#movember #menshealth
Regular testicular self-examinations can help you catch any changes early. Visit your medical provider if you have any questions or find anything that you might be concerned about.
Try to pick a day of the week or month that will help you to remember... like Testicle Tuesday!
Testicular Cancer has a 99% cure rate if caught early! (1) Your MD will be able to help you get a proper diagnosis and see a specialist so treatment can begin quickly.
If you need any guidance as to how to go about a self-examination I have attached my clinic handout.
Yours in health,
Dr. Kim Niddery
