Learning to properly inspect your pubic area is important because it’s key to the early detection of testicular abnormalities, including testicular cancer. By regularly self-examining, men can quickly spot changes such as lumps, hardening, or variations in testicular size and consistency. Early detection allows for rapid treatment and significantly increases the chances of recovery. Additionally, this practice encourages men to be more attentive to their health and to consult a doctor if they notice any abnormalities, thus contributing to better management of their reproductive health.
Here’s how it’s done:
Lie down in a relaxed position and let your fingers explore the following areas: pubis, groin, penis, scrotum, testicles, and perineum. Touch, feel, and even smell these areas to get familiar with them.
Using two fingers, gently peel back the pubic area. This is where the testicles will migrate.
Slide your fingers along each side of your penis, moving down the groin and inguinal channels where the testicles can slide.
Feel the scrotum to understand its volume, all the way down to the perineum. This is where the ring will be placed.
Gently roll each testicle between your thumb, index, and middle fingers.
Explore the spermatic cord that connects each testicle to the rest of your body.
A few suggestions: use the palm of your hand to feel different areas, use a mirror to see areas that are hard to reach, feel the mobility and elasticity of different parts, visualize the path of the testicular ascent, and take your time.
The value of andrological self-examination lies in the early detection of testicular abnormalities, including testicular cancer. By regularly performing this self-examination, men can quickly spot changes such as masses, hardening or variations in testicular size and consistency. Early detection enables rapid treatment and significantly increases the chances of recovery. In addition, this practice encourages men to be more attentive to their intimate health and to consult a doctor in the event of any abnormality, thus contributing to better management of their reproductive health.
