Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct protocol for testicular self-examination is to use both hands to gently roll the testicles and feel for any lumps or changes in consistency. This should be done once a month and any concerns should be reported to a physician. Option A is incorrect as testicular self-examination should begin at puberty, not at age 35. Option C is incorrect as a warm shower can help to relax the scrotum and make the examination easier. Option D is incorrect as a cordlike structure on the top and back of the testicle is a normal part of the anatomy, known as the epididymis.
