Signs And Symptoms Of Testicular Cancer

Blood Clots And DVT

This will surprise many, many men, but yes, blood clots are a big sign of testicular cancer. In fact, many men with this cancer deal with deep vein thrombosis (DVT)! This means at least one blood clot has formed in a deep vein in the body. Most often, this is in the legs, which is why it can occur with testicular cancer. The tumors can reduce blood flow to these veins thanks to them spreading to the lymph nodes. Along with the blood clots themselves, men with testicular cancer will feel pain in their legs, shortness of breath, and swelling if they're dealing with deep vein thrombosis as well.
