I've sometimes seen some of these symptoms mentioned here (by
posters).

"Symptoms of testicular cancer

The most common symptom of testicular cancer is a lump, irregularity
or swelling in one testicle. Other symptoms that may be present are:

    * a pulling sensation or feeling of unusual heaviness in the
scrotum
    * a dull ache in the groin or lower abdomen
    * pain or discomfort (which may come and go) in the testicle or
scrotum
    * tenderness or enlargement of tissue in the breast area
    * a sudden collection of fluid in the scrotum (called a
hydrocele).

Most lumps in the scrotum are not testicular cancer. However, anyone
who notices one or more of the symptoms above should see their GP
for advice."
