⚠️ IMPORTANT MESSAGE ⚠️

On #EdBallsDay, we're asking you to check your balls and get to know what feels normal for you. Don’t know how? Read our handy guide below 👇
⚽ Hold your scrotum in the palm of your hand. The best time to check your testicles is during, or right after, a warm bath or shower, when the scrotal skin is relaxed.
🎱 Use your fingers and thumb to examine each testicle.
🏀 The epididymis (tube that carries sperm) lies at the top of the back part of each testicle. It feels like a soft, coiled tube. It’s common to get harmless cysts or benign lumps in the epididymis.
⚾ Feel for lumps or swellings, anything unusual, or differences between your testicles. It’s normal for the testicles to be slightly different in size, and for one to hang lower than the other.
🔮 Checking your testicles monthly can help to pick up testicular cancer earlier, when it's easier to treat. If you notice anything unusual when checking, see your GP.
We have more information and support on checking your testicles here
