Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most common symptoms of testicular cancer are a painless enlargement of one testis and the appearance of a palpable, small, hard lump, about the size of a pea, on the front or side of the testicle. Normally, the testes feel smooth, rubbery, and free of nodules. Use of diuretics, sedatives, or antihypertensives can lead to erection or ejaculation problems.
