What is the cause of testicular cancer? What are some daily ways to prevent testicular cancer?

1. Causes of testicular cancer

1. Cryptorchidism: Normally, the testicles will descend into the scrotum. If the testicles do not reach the scrotum and stay in the abdomen or groin area, a man's risk of testicular cancer will be greatly increased. Even if the testicles are moved into the scrotum through plastic surgery, it will not help.

2. Abnormal testicular development: Men with abnormal testicular development are prone to testicular cancer. Just like Xiaojun, the situation of one low and one high testicle also requires attention.

3. Some genetic factors: Relevant studies have shown that there is a certain correlation between the onset of testicular cancer and genetic factors.

4. Men with a history of testicular cancer: Men with a history of testicular cancer are more likely to develop testicular cancer in their other testicle. In addition, if the patient's father or sibling suffers from testicular cancer, his risk of contracting the disease will also increase. 2. Daily ways to prevent testicular cancer

1. Pay attention to maintaining testicular environmental hygiene. When taking a bath, men should pay attention to cleaning their testicles. Even if you don’t take a shower, you still need to clean the testicles frequently. Especially for men with foreskins, you must clean the area covered by the foreskin immediately to avoid the growth of germs.

2. Avoid testicle injury. Avoid accidental injury to the testicles, such as riding a bicycle and other activities, try to avoid squeezing the testicles. During sexual intercourse, it is also necessary to prevent damage to the testicles and minimize the harm to sensitive testicles caused by excessive violence.

3. Testicular self-correction and self-examination. Generally speaking, the best time for self-correction and self-examination is after taking a bath, when the testicular skin is soft. Touch the scrotum with your hand. If you feel a dull pain or soreness, or there is obvious asymmetry between the upper and lower testicles, you must remain vigilant and go to the hospital for examination immediately.

4. Try to avoid eating foods containing ochratulin A. Ochratoxin is a carcinogen that is particularly likely to cause testicular cancer. It is mainly caused by moldy bacteria that grow on some moldy cereals and green coffee beans. Therefore, men should remember not to take moldy cereals.
