The 60-Second Self-Check Every Guy Should Do

We're awkward about it, so let's not be. A quick self-check takes 60 seconds and could catch something early. Here's the honest guide.
How to do it:
- Warm water first — it relaxes the skin.
- Roll each testicle between your thumb and fingers.
- Feel for any new lumps, bumps, or a change in firmness.
- Know your normal. Everyone's is different.
When to see a doctor: anything new, painful, or just different that lasts more than a couple of weeks. Swelling, heaviness, or a dull ache — get it checked. It's almost always nothing, but that's exactly why it's worth 60 seconds.
Check your balls. Seriously. It's cheaper than worrying.
Ballsy? You are. Do it monthly — pair it with the date on your phone bill.
