10. Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer is another condition that has many symptoms in common with orchitis, although frequently the person notices a lump in the testicle as well. Using ultrasound results, the health care provider can identify abnormalities in the testicle that may indicate cancer. If cancer is present, the testicle will likely be surgically removed.
The most common cancer in men between ages 20 and 35, testicular cancer usually only affects one testicle, and it's usually curable.9‘Testicular Cancer: Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis & Treatment.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/12183-testicular-cancer.
