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:

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.
