- a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum
- a dull ache in the abdomen or groin
- a sudden collection of fluid in the scrotum
- pain or discomfort in a testicle or the scrotum
- enlargement or tenderness of the breasts
- unexplained fatigue or a general feeling of not being well cancer usually affects only one testicle.
