Anyone have any experience with this? Does it often spread to other parts of the body or does it usually stay contained in the testicles.

If the testicular caner was detected early in the stages you can usually assume it hasn't spread into the lymph nodes yet. Usually if its detected in later stages of testicular cancer it will have hit the nodes and its pretty unstoppable at that point.

My father in law had a similar procedure done where they had to remove a testicle that had a tumor on it.

Luckily the cancer hadn't spread any where and they were able to remove it all. The most likely course of action for someone if they detect it early are a few weekly check ups after the surgery, that will then become monthly check ups, and then they'll eventually get to once a year and once every 5 years.

My father in law is almost 75 years old now, and this happened about 25 years ago, so once someone is over it, the effect on their life can be minimal

if you don't masturbate then you might be at risk. It has many health benefits such as lower prostate cancer percentages and it lowers aggression.

Well that is definately good to know - at least it had a purpose other than pleasure! honestly though it is a good idea to check your testicles often and go to the doctor if you feel anything unusual - most are nothing but worth a quick check

Testicular cancer is one of the most common cancers in young men between the ages of 15 and 35, but the disease also occurs in other age groups, so all men should be aware of its symptoms. While testicular cancer is common among young men, young men typically do not get a lot of cancer, so overall testicular cancer is a relatively rare disease.
