Testicular Self-Exam (TSE)

Phrase your teaching something like this:

A good time to examine testicles is during shower or bath, when your hands are warm and soapy and scrotum is warm; cold hands retract scrotal contents Procedure is simple; hold scrotum in palm of your hand and gently feel testicles using thumb and first two fingers Testicle is egg-shaped and movable; it feels rubbery with a smooth surface Abnormal lumps are very rare and usually not worrisome, but if you ever notice a firm, painless lump, a hard area, or an overall enlarged testicle, call your physician for further check
