What does TSE mean in MEDICAL

Performing TSE is important because it can help identify potential issues with the reproductive system in males, such as testicular cancer, which can often develop without producing any symptoms or warning signs until the later stages. By performing the exam regularly, any irregularities or changes can be detected early, allowing for timely and effective treatment if necessary.

It is recommended that individuals perform TSE on themselves at least once per month, preferably during or after a shower when the scrotum is relaxed and easier to examine thoroughly.

To begin, it is important to check each testicle separately by using both hands, rolling them between the finger and thumb in order to feel for any bumps or irregular shapes that may not have been present previously. After checking each testicle, look around the scrotum itself for any discoloration, swelling, lumps or other irregularities.

If you notice anything unusual while performing your self-exam, however subtle or minor it may seem such as differences in size of shape between one side and another; it's best to contact your doctor as soon as possible for an evaluation by a medical expert so further diagnosis can be made if needed.
