10 Testicular Cancer Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #5: Hemoptysis
Hemoptysis refers to coughing up of blood or having blood stained mucus. It may occur in cases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, bronchitis, lung cancer, and more. Massive hemoptysis occurs when there is 300 ml or more of blood coughed up.
To determine the origin of blood, bright red foamy blood originates from the respiratory tract while dark or coffee colored blood is from the gastrointestinal tract. In testicular cancer, the presence of chest pain, cough, breathlessness, and hemoptysis indicates that there is lung metastasis or mediastinal adenopathy.
