What do the test results mean?

Normally, a testicle feels firm and consistent, and its surface is smooth. One testicle may be slightly larger and hang lower than the other.

An unusually enlarged testicle or a small, hard lump on the surface of a testicle may be a sign of testicular cancer. A healthcare provider should be consulted right away.
