Call out to parents of boys and young men: How to spot testicular health problems

Early intervention makes a big difference

Posted on: 28 September 2023

Testicular cancer rates start to rise in the mid-teens, while testicular torsion (twisting) rates start to rise even younger, at around age 11.  

Both conditions can be treated easily if diagnosed early but can become more serious if left for too long before medical intervention, potentially resulting in the removal of a testicle and/or advanced cancer. 

The project aims to reach all boys in North East London with NHS-approved testicular health education, and would like parents and carers to be aware too, so that you know what to do if young men in your life raise any concerns.
