Last Update: 12/10/2018

The symptoms of testicular cancer are not always easy to detect, either in early stages or in more advanced stages when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.

However, some symptoms of this metastasis may be the following:

  • Lower back pain if spread to lymph nodes.
  • Difficulty breathing, coughing, or chest pain in case of pulmonary metastasis.
  • Abdominal pain if there are metastases in the liver.
  • Headache or confusion when the cancer spreads to the brain.
