Testicles
The testicle is the male generative gland in animals.
Like the ovaries to which they are homologous, testicles are components of both the reproductive system and the endocrine system.
Testicles produce both sperm and the hormone testosterone. Sperm grows at the back of the testicle, in the epididymis.
The testicles hang in scrotum, a kind of sack that sits outside of the body because sperm is necessary
to be stored at a temperature that is slightly below that of the body.
Men should do testicular self examination (TSE) every month. In doing so, a man becomes more familiar with his body and
will notice any changes. Testicular cancer, although a rare disease, can be fatal if not detected early enough. The best place to do
a testicular self examination is the shower because the hot water relaxes the scrotum and soap reduces friction while
examining. Here are some guidelines for doing testicular self-exam:
Find each testicle and the epididymis.
Turn each testicle between the thumb and forefinger - you should feel a round, firm surface.
Examine the rest of the scrotum contents. Feel for changes.
Ask the medical practitioner advice if you feel a lump on the testicle surface, even if it is not painful.
