Prevention
  • Scrotal masses linked to sexually-transmitted diseases (for example, epididymitis) may be prevented by practicing safe sex.
  • Scrotal masses resulting from injury may be prevented by wearing an athletic cup during exercise.
  • Monthly testicular self-examination can catch testicular cancer early, and improve the chances of curing it. All men 15 years or older should learn how to perform testicular self-examination.
