A Quick self check guide -
Use this video as a timer! it's one minute long , The same amount of time needed to check 1 testicle. So play it twice and that'll be your check time done. Unless you're like Paul and only have the one ball then just play it once!
Cup your testicles in the palm of your hand and feel their weight.
Often people’s testicles are different sizes, or one hangs lower. But they shouldn’t feel heavier or larger than usual.
With both hands, examine one testicle at a time, spending up to a minute on each.
Place your index and middle finger underneath the scrotum, and your thumb on top. Gently but firmly, roll each testicle between your fingers and thumb, feeling for lumps or swelling.
Each testicle should feel firm, but not hard.
What to look for
- A hard lump (often pea-sized) on the front or side of a testicle
- Swelling or enlargement of a testicle
- Unusual hardness in a testicle
- Pain, heaviness or unusual discomfort in the scrotum or testicles
Testicles contain blood vessels and tissue that are easily mistaken for abnormalities. You’ll likely encounter the epididymis, a tube that transports sperm from the testes. It feels like a soft rope-like structure on the back of each testicle, towards the top. Don’t worry — it’s meant to be there!
If you find anything unusual, don’t panic. Speak to your doctor. Most symptoms don’t mean cancer — but you should have them checked to make sure.

Hello and thanks for watching.
We exist to educate males about testicular cancer and the importance of early detection, through regular self checking.
We are on a mission to get testicular health on the agenda from an early age. We want testicular health to be talked about openly and candidly and for self checking to become part of every male’s monthly routine.
Through our education and information on the signs and symptoms of testicular cancer we want to empower males in Scotland to be proactive about their own testicular health.
