Testicular and Bowel Cancer Awareness Month
Posted on Apr 09, 2025 Tags: UKGSA NewsApril is Testicular and Bowel Cancer Awareness Month. We are therefore sharing symptoms of these cancers to help raise awareness.
Testicular Cancer
Each year around 2,300 men in the UK are diagnosed with Testicular Cancer, however, it is often curable especially if diagnosed early.
The most common symptom is a lump or swelling in a testicle, or a dull ache, pain or heaviness in the scrotum. It’s therefore important you check your testicles regularly.
For further information about testicular cancer, visit the NHS website.
Bowel Cancer
If you have any changes to your normal bowel habit have blood in your stool or bleeding, or are worried, visit your GP and ask about an at-home test.

Macmillan Cancer Support
