Signs to watch out for:
* a lump in one testicle
* pain and tenderness in either testicle
* discharge or pus from the penis
* blood in the sperm at ejaculation
* a build-up of fluid inside the scrotum
* a heavy or dragging feeling in the groin or scrotum
* an enlargement of the breasts with or without tenderness
* an increase in size of a testicle (one testicle is normally larger then the other but the size and shape should remain more or less the same).
How to check your testicles
Check your testicles monthly in the following manner:
* do the self-examination lying in a warm bath or while having a long shower, as this softens the skin of the scrotum (skin sac that holds the testicles), which makes it easier to feel the testicles inside.
* examine the scrotum, looking for any lumps on the skin or swellings inside.
* cradle the whole scrotum and testicles in the palm of your hand and feel the difference between the testicles. One is almost always larger and lying lower. This is completely normal.
* examine each testicle in turn, and then compare them with each other. Use both hands and gently roll each testicle between thumb and forefinger.
* Check for any lumps or swellings as both testicles should be smooth except where the duct that carries sperm to the penis, the epididymis, runs. This lies along the top and back of the testicle and normally feels bumpy.

don't your docs explain to you how to do a self exam there? our docs give us instructions on self breast exams.
Yes they do. The problem with us men is we don't go see a doctor unless we are near death in most cases.

the 'follow-a-long' thing is a ballsack. that's pretty funny
I was purposely over stating the situation men must be in to go see a doctor to make a point. It was also a attempt at a little humor. Taking a humorous look at a serious topic like this is a good thing to help people cope in case they do find themselves in a situation like that.
