Leydig Cell Tumor treatment in León

A Leydig cell tumor is an uncommon type of tumor that originates in the cells of the testicle responsible for producing male hormones. Most are benign, although they require evaluation to confirm their nature.

Common symptoms: A lump or an increase in the size of a testicle may be noticed and, in some cases, hormonal changes such as growth of breast tissue or alterations in sexual desire.

When to see a doctor? Any mass, hardness, or change in a testicle warrants evaluation, without waiting for it to cause pain.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the first point of contact to study a Leydig cell tumor, and the oncologist joins in when it is necessary to rule out malignancy. Detecting these changes in time makes for better support, which is why it is worth not postponing the visit.
