Testicular Tumor treatment in Gustavo A. Madero

A testicular tumor is the abnormal growth of tissue inside a testicle, which can be benign or malignant in nature. It is usually noticed as a lump or a change in the consistency of the gland.

Common symptoms: The most common is noticing a painless nodule, an increase in size, or a sensation of heaviness in the scrotum; at times it is accompanied by discomfort or changes in firmness.

When should you see a doctor? Any lump, hardening, or persistent change in a testicle deserves evaluation, since early assessment makes for a better approach.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the one who studies this type of finding, with support from the oncologist when needed; in children, the pediatrician and the pediatric oncologist take part. If you notice something different during a self-exam, scheduling a consultation is the best decision.
