Just feel them to see if any new hard lumps appear on the surface of either testicle, then go see a doctor (surgeon). I had TC 23 years ago, had it out, a bit of radiotherapy and it has made no difference to my life since. Some dispute at the time about western lifestyle diet being causative (barbecues / grills etc) but all my doctors seemed to be interested in was any past trauma to testicles.
