Men who experience infertility problems may be at greater risk for developing testicular cancer. Testicular cancer is the most common malignancy among young American men and it seems infertile men have three times greater risk than men in the overall population, of developing the cancer.Some factors seem to increase a man’s odds of developing testicular cancer, according to Yale Medical Group. These include testicular trauma, cigarette or marijuana smoking, going through puberty early, or being exposed to toxic substances such as lead, that for years was found in house paints. A few other factors that may increase a man’s odds are being Caucasian, having a testicle that didn’t descend, and family history of the cancer. Researchers however, still aren’t exactly sure what causes testicular cancer, the leading form of malignancy in American men from 15 to 34. Things men can watch for to try and detect testicular cancer early are a lump in a testicle, groin ache, swollen breasts, and tiredness for no apparent reason.Based on the new study, researchers aren’t exactly sure of the link between testicular cancer and infertility, but they don’t feel it is from fertility treatment. They actually think the link may either be environmental factors, faulty DNA repair, or problems with the way the body responds to small damaged areas of genetic material. Though it seems infertile men do have an increased risk for testicular cancer, the risk is still overall pretty low. More research is needed to look more at the causes of each and determine if there is a definite link, but in the mean time, men can perform self evaluations to try and catch testicular cancer early, notifying their doctors of any concerns or questions.
