How should I treat testicular cancer that I just received?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, my testicles hurt, I feel very uncomfortable. I went for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis. I want to ask, if I just got testicular cancer, how should I be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Testicular cancer is a malignant tumor that can recur with the spread or onset of the tumor, so it cannot be cured by surgery. Generally, the current 5-year recurrence rate is relatively high. However, the first step should be surgical removal followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, as only this can prolong life. Male diseases are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek timely treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, considering treatment based on examination results. It is also important to quit smoking and drinking and maintain good personal hygiene. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
