This statement is true. Monthly testicular self-examination (TSE) is widely recommended, particularly for men aged 15 to 40, to promote early detection of testicular cancer. The technique involves gently rolling each testicle between the thumb and fingers to feel for any hard lumps, nodules, or changes in size, shape, or consistency. While the impact of TSE on mortality rates is debated due to the high cure rates of testicular cancer even with advanced disease, it is a simple, non-invasive practice that encourages bodily awareness and may lead to earlier diagnosis. Men with risk factors like cryptorchidism or a family history are especially encouraged to perform TSE.
