Im 16 years of age. My left testicle is
only slightly bigger than the other yet
sometimes when my balls hang low the left
one hangs a hell of alot lower than my
right. I heard about some symptons of
testicular cancer so far i only seem to
have two symptons. The left ball that is
bigger and also back pain. However the
back pain is not constant its only off and
on every 3 weeks?
Do you think i might have cancer? I'm
really worried

The left testicle is normally a little bit
bigger and settled lower than the right
one.
Symptoms of testicular cancer are a
growing, painless mass inside the scrotum.
Back pain is a common symptom for many
disorders so it is rarely related to
testicular cancer.
You may want to consult your GP for sure.
