    Testicular cancer may be caused by congenital factors, such as genetic factors, polymastia, cryptorchidism, etc. It may also be caused by acquired factors such as testicular damage, long-term use of estrogen, orchitis. Further formal medical examination is required for confirmation.

    1. Innate factors 1. Genetic factors

    Testicular cancer may be caused by genetic factors. If the father has symptoms of testicular cancer, it may be passed on to the next generation and testicular cancer will occur.

    2. Polymastia

    In addition, if you have polymastia, you may also induce testicular cancer,

    3. Cryptorchidism

    If you have cryptorchidism, the higher temperature around the testicles may cause testicular atrophy, which may lead to malignant lesions.

    2. Acquired factors 1. Testicular damage

    Testicular trauma is also one of the causative factors of testicular cancer. Due to external trauma, testicular damage may occur. If not treated in time, malignant lesions may easily occur and testicular cancer may occur.

    2. Long-term use of estrogen

    If you take estrogen for a long time, it may cause endocrine dysfunction and easily induce testicular cancer.

    3. Orchitis

    Orchitis may be caused due to pathogenic infection. If not treated properly, the condition may be aggravated and inflammatory and malignant lesions may occur.

    In addition, orchitis may also be caused by factors such as long-term exposure to harmful substances and the mother taking estrogen during pregnancy. If symptoms of orchitis occur, it is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly.
