Know your
normal.

Know your normal

Checking takes less time than a shower playlist intro.

Once a month, ideally after a warm shower when everything's relaxed. You're feeling for what's normal for you — so that if something changes, you'll notice.

1

Just Relax

Check your testicles just after you’ve had a bath or shower, when the muscles in the scrotum are relaxed.

2

Size Up and Relax

Hold your scrotum in your hands and feel the size and weight of each testicle.

3

Feel for Lumps and Changes

Feel each individual testicle and roll it between your thumb and finger. It should feel smooth.
