By Francis Riggs


With the rising cases of testes cancer all over the world, men ought to be vigilant in fighting it in all ways. This is a serious health condition that some men have little information about. With the changes in lifestyles and diet, this problem is prominent today and this should not continue. While self examination is good for detecting any developing sign, knowing the risk factors causing it and meeting your doctor for checkup is more effective if you are to avoid developing testicular cancer.

One of the major risk factors is testicles that fail to descend. Most people do not know that testicles in male babies develop when they are in their mothers womb. Normally, the testicles find their way into the scrotum when the baby is born or later in their first year of life. But, in some boys, the testicles fail to descend to the scrotum and this becomes a major health issue to them.

When the worst happens and the testicles of your child completely fail to descend to their respective storage bag, surgery becomes the most effective solution to this problem. Through surgery, doctors are able to move the testicles to the scrotum and this boosts the reproductive life of the boy child. However, this surgical process may expose the child to developing this problem especially if the surgery happens to boys under the age of 13.

Another risk factor is previous cancerous condition that affects testes. Men who have had this problem in one testicle before may develop this problem in the other testicle later on. If you had this problem before, you should ensure that you book regular appointments with your doctor to save the situation. You should not keep quiet having had this problem before since it may develop silently.

Some people do not really understand that age is a factor to consider when preventing this condition. Today, men who are middle aged are the most prone to this cancerous condition in relation to the older men. For instance, men with age bracket of 15-49 years are more prone to this problem than men who are 70 years of age. Similarly, white men in Europe are prone to this challenge than men from other different communities.

Any information about the cancerous condition in any of your male close members should be a wake-up call on the preventive measures you should put in place. Chances of you developing the cancerous problem are not severe if your father had it, as it would be if your brothers suffer from it. Again, when one of the twin brothers is suffering from this problem, the other should not dismiss the whole thing.

Anything that disrupts the way your endocrine gland functions is a threat in causing this cancerous problem. Many people fail to understand that pesticides and other chemicals used in industries and test laboratories affect the way the endocrine gland works. When these disrupting elements affect the functions of your gland, you are likely to develop this cancerous problem.

You should ask your doctor to help you fight infertility since it a risk factor to this cancerous condition. Men with fertility problems can develop this problem more that healthy men. Men who smoke a whole packet of 10-20 cigarettes for a long duration may be increasing their chances of developing the cancerous problem.
