Self examination should occur monthly starting at puberty.  Yearly exam by a physician is recommended but not always achieved in reality.  \nGet to know your testicles, so if you find a change you can get it evaluated immediately.  \n\nThe high risk age groups for testicular cancer are from puberty to age 33 then again after age 60.

Pheochromocytoma is a possibility, as well as other neoplasias.  You need to see a doctor ASAP.  40 pounds of weight loss in a 16 year old is very, very abnormal.  Best wishes and good luck.

It depends...some states consider 16yrs of age legally an adult.\n\nyou will have to check with your states law regarding that.

Depends. Generally speaking, yes; except in cases where the 16-year-old cannot consent on the basis of mental condition, student-teacher relationship, etc.\n\nhttp://onlinedocs.andersonpublishing.com/oh_print/lpExt.dll/PORC/133b1/135f6?f=templates&fn=document-frame-chapter.htm&2.0#JD_h2-290702

I work in a hospital and deal with ladies  with breast cancer on a daily basis. I get my fiance to check mine as well as checking them myself. I check his aswel. U can never be too careful.\nEspecially the younger lads from 16 up. Always check your breasts and testicles. You need to get to know what they feel like normally then u will know if theres anything abnormal.\nI think a goo boob size is 34 C/D.

No a male can not catch cancer, no one can.  But you can catch HPV which CAN cause cervical cancer.

Like you said your 17. You still haven't fully matured and that's fine, some teens develop later than others. Just wait a year or so. If you are really concerned you could always go and see a doctor.

If you find a lump on your testicle, see a doctor, preferably a urologist, right away. The abnormality may not be cancer, it may just be an infection. But if it is testicular cancer, it will spread if it is not stopped by treatment. Waiting and hoping will not fix anything. Please note that free floating lumps in the scrotum that are not attached in any way to a testicle are not testicular cancer. When in doubt, get it checked out - if only for peace of mind.\n\nHow to do a self examination of the testicles:\n*Stand in front of a mirror. Check for any swelling on the scrotal skin. \n*Examine each testicle with both hands. Place the index and middle fingers under the testicle with the thumbs placed on top. Roll the testicle gently between the thumbs and fingers -- you shouldn't feel any pain when doing the exam. Don't be alarmed if one testicle seems slightly larger than the other, that's normal. \n*Find the epididymis, the soft, tubelike structure behind the testicle that collects and carries sperm. If you are familiar with this structure, you won't mistake it for a suspicious lump. Cancerous lumps usually are found on the sides of the testicle but can also show up on the front. Lumps on the epididymis are not cancerous. \n*Other signs of testicular cancer to keep in mind are: \nAny enlargement of a testicle \nA significant loss of size in one of the testicles \nA feeling of heaviness in the scrotum \nA dull ache in the lower abdomen or in the groin \nA sudden collection of fluid in the scrotum \nPain or discomfort in a testicle or in the scrotum \nEnlargement or tenderness of the breasts \n\nI hesitate to mention the following list, since anything out of the ordinary down there should prompt a visit to the doctor, but you should be aware that the following symptoms are not normally signs of testicular cancer:\nA pimple, ingrown hair or rash on the scrotal skin \nA free floating lump in the scrotum, seemingly not attached to anything \nA lump on the epidiymis or tubes coming from the testicle that kind of feels like a third testicle \nPain or burning during urination \nBlood in the urine or semen \nhttp://tcrc.acor.org/tcexam.html...

Getting tested for STDS? No. Go to your local planned parenthood or your family doctor. If your parents find out, they might be upset that you are having sex at 16, and you might get in trouble from them. But no, you won't get in trouble with your doctor or anything. It's always good to be concerned about your health. Good luck!

it's not unsual to have traces of blood on the sperm once in a blue moon...You should masturbate and see if it happens again. At your age I would be cautious about it, since prostate cancer is growing among men. A trip to the doctor is best to ease your mind....

Sex at a young age is a bad idea but not for health reasons....I won't preach to you about that here.\n\nAs for masturbation....do it to your hearts content.  It's healthy and perfectly normal unless you are doing it in ways that hurt your body.  As long as it's not an obsession with you, once or twice a day is not an obsession.  \n\nCervical cancer is not caused by the act of intercourse, it is caused by the papaloma virus also known as genital warts.  All warts are caused by a virus.  Men who have genital warts carry them on the flesh of their genitals.  During intercourse, the virus transfers to the cervix.  This virus grows in the cervix and eventually can manifest cancer.  If you are sexually active, it is important that you have regular pap smear test for the papoloma virus.  THAT IS WHY YOU ALWAYS USE A CONDOM EVEN IF YOU USE THE PILL.  The chances that you will develop cervical cancer from the papoloma virus decrease the older you are, that may be what you heard in the past.

I would say that at 16 yrs old you should hold off on surgery unless you having health problems from them. You are still young and your body is still developing. For all you know your chest could be at their limit and your body just needs to grow into them.

you can get cancer without ever smoking or chewing.  you dont have any more to worry about than before your risky adventure.  Short term usage has only been known to cause retracted testicles.
