Testicular Cancer\n\n==============\n\n\n\nYour doctor is wise to consider testicular cancer.  Although most\n\ncases present between the ages of 15-35, this type of cancer can occur\n\nat any age.  It's a relatively rare tumor (about 2-3 new cases per\n\n100,000 males per year in the US) [Smith's Urology].  Testicular\n\ncancer has a very high cure rate - even higher when diagnosed early. \n\nThe testicular ultrasound (aka sonogram), as stated below in\n\nCampbell's, is 95% sensitive and specific for testicular cancer and\n\ndoes not involve exposing you to ionizing radiation (like an X-ray). \n\nBasically it's a noninvasive low-risk test to detect a potential\n\ncancer that, if found, is highly curable - high yield, low risk.\n\n\n\nOne of the standard Urology texts (Campbell's) outlines the diagnostic\n\npathway for testicular cancer:\n\n\n\n"Unfortunately, delays in the timely and accurate diagnosis of\n\ntesticular cancer continue to be a significant problem. [123] Moul\n\n(1994) noted a mean duration of symptoms of 26 weeks before diagnosis\n\nin a review of 4948 testicular cancer patients. Both patient and\n\nphysician factors contribute to this delay in diagnosis. Painless\n\nscrotal masses are often ignored, whereas testicular cancers\n\npresenting with scrotal pain are treated as epididymitis up to 18% to\n\n30% of the time ([19] Bosl et al, 1981; [144] Prout et al, 1984).\n\nAlmost 20% of patients present with signs or symptoms of metastatic\n\ndisease such as back or abdominal pain, weight loss, neck mass,\n\ngynecomastia, or breast tenderness ([19] Bosl et al, 1981; Thornhill\n\net al, 1987; [15] Bosl et al, 2000). Patients have undergone\n\nunnecessary mastectomy or laparotomy or prolonged therapy for back\n\npain without a diagnosis of testicular cancer being considered ([143]\n\nPost and Belis, 1980; [125] Moul and Moellman, 1992; [124] 2000).\n\n\n\nA careful history and physical examination, as well as serum β–human\n\nchorionic gonadotropin (HCG), α-fetoprotein (AFP), and lactate\n\ndehydrogenase (LDH) testing, are helpful in establishing a correct\n\ndiagnosis. Scrotal sonography is extremely accurate in identifying\n\nsolid intratesticular lesions with greater than 95% sensitivity and\n\nspecificity.\n\n\n\nWalsh: Campbell's Urology, 8th ed., 2002. Elsevier. Pp. 2920-2921.\n\n\n\n\n\nAs mentioned above, one usually also looks at the serum HCG, AFP, and\n\nLDH as tumor markers.  I would trust an endocrinologist to pick the\n\nright tests and interpret them correctly.  They have special training\n\nin the physiology hormone levels and may be better than the GU surgeon\n\nat pin pointing the cause of these abnormalities, particularly if they\n\nare due to something outside of the genitourinary system (for example\n\nin the pituitary or other organ).  There isn't really a reason to see\n\na urologic oncologist (or genitourinary (GU)  surgeon) until you have\n\nthe results of the ultrasound, since the GU surgeon is unlikely to\n\noperate without a diagnosis or target for biopsy.  If you do\n\nultimately go to a GU surgeon, it's very helpful to have an ultrasound\n\nin hand on the first visit.  Otherwise, they will likely see you,\n\norder an ultrasound, then have to see you again when the results are\n\nback.  The endocrinologist is essentially saving you a wasted visit to\n\nthe GU doc before you have the right tests complete.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are multiple types of testicular cancer, the most common being\n\nseminona (35%).  More than 50% of spermatocytic seminoma cases are\n\nfound in men over 50.  You can get details on the other types at these\n\neMedicine sites:\n\n\n\nhttp://www.emedicinehealth.com/articles/20872-1.asp\n\nhttp://www.emedicine.com/med/topic2250.htm\n\nhttp://www.emedicine.com/radio/topic680.htm\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are multiple secondary effects that can hint at hormonal\n\nimbalance caused by testicular cancer or other etiologies.

I am a therapist in alternative medicine but before i can help you I need to know if you have had any blood tests to find out what your hormone levels are. Men (as you probably know) have testosterone, you may have an imbalance, or it just me muscular. If you want a longer diagnosis of possible causes you can e-mail me on 'alternative@medicine123.wanadoo.co.uk. I will be pleased to try and help you solve your problem.\n\n                         Gloria

First and foremost why do you want to increase your testosterone levels? is it to become more muscular? or are you clinically deficient?\n\nI am just completing a phd on the effect of diet and exercise on testosterone levels so am well versed in this area. Testosterone is primarily synythesised in the leydig cells of the testes and as men age the production slows. it is not soley responsible for balding in men. What causes the balding is the increased converison of testosterone to DHT which targets the hair follicles. \n\nOne possible way of incresing testosterone is by doing some weight training. I am guessing you probably already do this as part of your regime. If not a moderate to high intensity weights programme has been shown to increase testosterone levels post exercise. Dietary methods of increasing your testosterone still needs research done. However there is limited research linking a high fat low fibre diet to increased testosterone production. This however is not reccomended as the health risks associated with a high fat diet such as CHD far outweigh any beneficial effects of increased testosterone production.\nWeeman

Sperm count or free testosterone count?  See your doctor if you do not know the difference.  People try prescription drugs and testosterone patches but all these are very expensive and abound in UNWANTED DANGEROUS SIDE EFFECTS, so I recommend the following to show great results in six weeks or less:\n\n1.  Don't wear underwear (boxer shorts, however, are far superior to jockeys if you must wear undies)\n2.  Wear looser fitting trousers\n3.  Wild oats (avena sativa)\n4.  Horny Goat Weed (Epimedium)\n5.  Aerobics 40 minutes daily 5-7 times per week\n6.  Muscle building exercise 4 times weekly\n7.  Think about vulvas constantly (I'm serious)\n8.  Refrain from masturbating\n9.  Adopt the 7 Golden Rules of Health  (1. No smoking or drug use 2.  Low to no use of alcohol  3.  Eat a good breakfast 4.  Eat 3-4 meals daily  5. Sleep 7-8 hours nightly 6.  Maintain a normal healthy weight  7.  Regular vigorous exercise)\n\nGood luck!

Testosterone levels are normally highest after a man wakes up from good quality sleep, so physiologically speaking, desire should peak at that point.  If you're talking about external or environmental influences, it depends on the individual.  Some men get amped when they see monster trucks, other men might sport a chubby when they smell a freshly manicured lawn.  Whatever trips your trigger...

Considering your stats, I would personally say you are not obese. Check the website below to determine your BMI.\n\nSleep disorders and disruptions can be caused by stress or chemical imbalances. If you think its because of your weight, check the list below.\n\nhttp://www.sleepfoundation.org/press/index.php?secid=&id=77\nhttp://sleepdisorders.about.com/cs/stressandanxiety/a/nsfanxiety.htm\n\n"Overweight and obese individuals are at increased risk for many diseases and health conditions, including the following:\n\nHypertension (high blood pressure) \nOsteoarthritis (a degeneration of cartilage and its underlying bone within a joint) \nDyslipidemia (for example, high total cholesterol or high levels of triglycerides) \nType 2 diabetes \nCoronary heart disease \nStroke \nGallbladder disease \nSleep apnea and respiratory problems \nSome cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon)"\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/obesity/defining.htm

Get a thorough medical checkup to make sure it isn't gynaecomastia (man boobs caused by an imbalance of testosterone and estrogen levels).  Interestingly increase in estrogen levels can be caused by use of marijuana, steroids, antidepressants, heroin or wife/ girlfriend/ partner using estrogen creams (info from The Hypochondriac's Pocket Guide to Diseases You Probably Already Have by Dennis Declaudio).\n\nIf this is not the case, your doctor may just recommend a balanced diet and physical exercise incorporating weights to develop your torso.
