 Testicular Examination
1. Use both hands to palpate the testis; the normal testicle is
smooth and uniform in consistency.

2. With the index and middle fingers under the testis and the
thumb on top, roll the testis gently in a horizontal plane
between the thumb and fingers (A).

3. Feel for any evidence of a small lump or abnormality.

4. Follow the same procedure and palpate upward along the

testis (B).

5. Locate the epididymis (C), a cord-like structure on the top and

back of the testicle that stores and transports sperm.

6. Repeat the examination for the other testis. It is normal to find

that one testis is larger than the other.
