Man jokingly takes pregnancy test, finds out he has testicular cancer

Dado5 · Nov 8, 2012

Pregnancy tests detect the amount of the hormone beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in an individual’s urine. While the hormone is produced by the developing placenta during pregnancy, it can also be associated with testicular cancer, according to the National Institutes of Health.

So does this mean if we take HCG and take a urine test dr will assume we have testicular cancer?

Wow. That's some shit. Maybe its the amount that is an indicator?

I saw this as-well. Does the extra HCG that we take increase the incidents of testicular cancer? Things that make you go hmmmmmmm. On second thought, too much information is stressful and ingnorance can be bliss.

I agree. Why would a guy think of doing that in the first place? What fun could possibly be had from peeing on a $20 stick that won't do anything if you are male.

I was diagnosed with testicular cancer last year. Actually last Aug was my one year anniversary.

Initially it started off with a painful testicle. I was on PCT using adex and hCG. I noticed a very small lump on the side of my testicle that was probably the side of a small grain of rice. Within two weeks I couldn't walk my testicle was so painful.

I left it for too long. When I eventually went to the doctor the cancer spread through my upper body. I lost a nut, surgery, chemo the whole deal.

My hCG levels were so high I got gyno over the whole deal. My nipples were very painful. I never thought about taking a pregnancy test but my blood work showed levels that were through the roof. I don't remember the numbers but they were so high I wouldn't be surprised if I tested positive for pregnancy on a piss test.

Do you think AS or HCG used caused it? Are you fine now? Did you lose the nut?

Sorry to hear about your situation. Out of curiosity how old are you, and how much and how long was you using hCG.

Which type seminomas or nonseminomas?

I asked several oncologists if AAS use possibly caused my testicular cancer and they all said no. As a matter of fact I'd probably get TRT because I lost a testicle but for now I'm just cycling. All my scans are clear of cancer. My docs say that I'm at no greater risk to get other cancers than anyone else.

I was diagnosed 32 years of age. A little late for testicular cancer. My first cycle was probably 18 years old. I did short 6-8 week cycles until mid twenties I went heavy for a bit. A typical cycle for me is a gram of testosterone cypionate. Right now I'm going a bit harder with a gram of testosterone + 200mg tren + approx 400mg anadrol per week but only for 6 weeks.

No one really knows much about how you get testicular cancer but thankfully the cure (BEP) works. My cancer was growing so fast if it had another name I'd probably be dead lol.

I had classic germ cell seminoma the most curable of all. I'm very lucky.

I have noticed that I have always had slight on and off Varicocele noticeable, it seems to be getting worse recently or at least acting up more often now that I am ON, not sure if I should go to the doctor about it.
I also have a hard bump on top of my epiditumus but had it checked out when I was a kid and it was "probably a calcium deposit".
