Hey friends,
You might have heard of the new phenomenon going around the internet right now. No? Well men all over the internet are posting pictures of their cocks...in socks to raise awareness for testicular cancer.
A man’s lifetime risk of developing testicular cancer is approximately 1 in 250
• It accounts for 1% of all the cancers in men
• It usually affects young men (age -20-39) in their prime of youth
• Testicular cancer has the highest cure rates among all cancers (>90%)
• But, like all cancers, it can recur
• Testicular cancer is most common in Caucasians and rare in men of African or Asian descent
• Most commonly there are Two types of testicular cancers--seminomas, or slow growing cancer and non-seminomas, or fast growing cancer
• Prominent symptoms include pain/swelling/lumps in testicles/groin areas
• Prominent risk factors include undescended testis (cryptorchidism), family history, mumps and inguinal hernia
• Surgical removal of a testicle will not affect fertility. Chemotherapy, on the other hand, can harm sperm count/quality. Sperm banking may then be considered.
All that to say...get them checked boys and to help raise some awareness (and some blood pressures) lets post some pictures on this thread
I'll go first
