Gentlemen, it’s that time again. Not tax season. Not your colonoscopy reminder. This one’s quicker and way less awkward. It’s time to give your boys a proper once-over and make sure the family jewels aren’t hiding any surprises.

We’re talking testicle self-exams. It’s easy. It’s important. You don’t need mood lighting or a guided meditation. Just work it into your shower routine and feel better knowing everything’s in place.

You’re already naked. You’re already in the steam. You’ve got nothing but time. So why not use that moment for something more productive than pretending you're not thinking about work?

Warm water helps relax the scrotum which makes it easier to feel what’s normal and what’s not. So while you’re planning your fantasy football draft, take 30 seconds to check the equipment.

Clean hands first, fellas. No one wants to manhandle their goods with fingers that just tore into spicy wings or assembled IKEA furniture without the manual. Use soap. Rinse well. Now you’re ready for the main event.

Here’s your no-nonsense testicular exam guide. You don’t need a white coat or a stethoscope. Just your hands, some warm water, and a willingness to get a little familiar with your own anatomy.

1. Gently hold one testicle in your palm

2. Roll it between your thumb and fingers

3. Check for changes in size, shape, or consistency

4. Feel for any testicular lumps, swelling, or sore spots

5. Locate the epididymis, a soft coiled tube on the back of each testicle

6. Find the spermatic cord, a rope-like structure above each testicle

Everything should feel smooth and consistent. You’re not searching for treasure. You’re making sure the map hasn’t changed.

Most lumps are harmless. But some are not. A testicular lump could be a sign of testicular cancer. It’s the most common cancer in men ages 15 to 34. And yes, it can still show up after 40.

The good news is that when caught early, testicular cancer is over 99 percent curable. That makes testicular cancer early detection a no-brainer.

You should also keep an eye out for:

• Scrotal swelling

• A feeling of heaviness

• Dull pain or aching

• Anything that suddenly feels different

If something seems off, don’t ignore it or try to power through. Make an appointment. Your future self will thank you.

Here’s a trick. Set a recurring reminder on your phone. Maybe the first Sunday of the month. Right after that long shower when you’re hiding from your to-do list and the dog that needs walking.

You only need 30 seconds. That’s less time than it takes to find the TV remote. This is one of the simplest forms of testicular cancer prevention out there.

Testicular cancer symptoms aren’t always dramatic. That’s why knowing how to check your testicles gives you a major advantage. Regular checks help you notice subtle changes in testicular health before they become big issues.

Even if nothing’s wrong, knowing you’re all good brings peace of mind. Like remembering where you parked without using the app. Victory.

Men’s health includes the parts you don’t usually talk about. And that includes testicles. You don’t have to live at the gym or drink kale to take care of yourself. You just need to check in once a month.

A quick testicular self-examination can help identify testicular cancer risk factors early. It’s easy. It’s smart. And it’s a habit worth forming.

Popstar is all about encouraging guys to take better care of themselves. That includes below the belt. So let’s make testicular cancer awareness a regular part of the conversation.

You don’t need a medical degree or fancy tools. You just need a hand, a little time, and the willingness to check in with your body. Doing a testicular self-exam every month can help you catch issues early and keep your testicular health on track.

Your testicles are brave. You should be too. If something feels off, say something. The earlier you catch it, the better your chances of taking care of it quickly and completely.
