Friday 1 April sees the launch of Testicular Cancer Awareness Month.
The Movember Foundation are encouraging men and their partners to get to ‘Know Thy Nuts,’ and check for testicular cancer, which primarily affects men between the ages of 15 and 34.
In a ballsy move, the Movember Foundation has created a limited edition ‘Know Thy Nuts’ soap-on-a-rope.
It’s the perfect shower partner for any man, to help spread awareness while raising vital funds for men’s health.
Neil Rooney, Movember Country Manager says: “While testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men, it’s largely overlooked and many men simply aren’t aware of the signs they need to look out for.
“As the leading foundation for men’s health in Ireland, Movember is going balls-out for Testicular Cancer Awareness Month and asking guys and their partners to #KnowThyNuts.”
Follow these steps…
-
Find somewhere comfortable; a warm environment is best, so hop in the shower, soap up and cop a feel.
-
Roll one nut between the thumb and fingers, checking for lumps, swelling or anything that doesn’t feel quite right.
-
(Lather, rinse) repeat with the other nut.
-
If something feels unusual or hurts, seek advice from a doctor.
Simple, really, and potentially life-saving. For much information, check out the Movember website.
