Survival Rate

 

Morning

Yes, I know yesterday was Buddy Ball Check Day.

BUT

So I wanted to do a post on it without missing Midweek Mirth. The Testicular Self-Exam exists for a reason. When detected early, the survival rate is over 95%. It also means you can typically avoid chemo and/or radiation therapy.


Why is it so important?

Most ball cancers are painless. We don't notice anything amiss until tumors have grown large and become painful. If you've waited that long to seek medical attention, well....

Not that many guys need an excuse.

In addition to getting your balls nice and warm first, 



and then normal rolling each testicle between thumb and forefinger,




Another early detection test is to look for blood in the semen.


So, this month, go the extra mile. Take the time to "run one off." Capture your cum on a piece of white paper (or other contrasting background) and look for traces of pink or red.

If you notice that, or any odd lumps, grab your phone and make an appointment with your doctor. Or go straight to a Urologist if you can.

Serious business here but I couldn't help but notice that one guy has butterflies in his semen. He needs to get thee hence to his Lepidopterologist/Andrologist anon.

My urologist does the check, too!
Seeing red in cum or pee? Scary!

XOXO

This is a good reminder for a lot of things, we know when things “aren’t right.” Part of being an adult is hauling yourself to the doctor instead of hoping and hoping and hoping “it” it will go away. And yes the doctors have heard everything, and they do want to help. May give you another extra 30 or 40 years.

Thanks for this very important message, early detection is key.

He might be amenable to that.

Yeah, that would be scary....

Men do have a habit of putting things off, thinking it will "get better." No wonder our life expectancy is shorter.

It is. As with all cancers.
