Testicular Cancer – TheTole Treatment & Herbal Approach
Overview
Testicular cancer is a malignant growth that begins in the testicles, the male reproductive glands responsible for producing sperm and hormones. It most commonly affects younger and middle-aged men, often between ages 15 and 40.
A lump in the testicle, swelling, or a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum may be early signs. Other symptoms can include dull ache in the lower abdomen or groin and sudden swelling or discomfort in the scrotum.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), testicular cancer patterns may involve Qi stagnation, Blood stasis, and Heat accumulation, which can contribute to a disrupted local circulation and systemic imbalance.
