Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Testicular self-examination is performed once a month and the most convenient time to perform this is after a warm shower. Warmth causes the testes to lower themselves in the scrotum (when it is relaxed). The testes should be examined using the fingers, not the palms, rolling each testis with the thumb and three other fingers until all the surfaces are covered. It is normal for testes to not be equal in height. TSE should begin during adolescence.
