Why You Need to Check Your Balls

Available for over a year

Around 2,300 men are diagnosed with testicular cancer each year in the UK, and it tends to affect younger men, aged 15-49. Mikey Connor - one of the contestants on the BBC Three Show ‘I Kissed A Boy’ - had a testicle removed in August 2022, several months after discovering a lump. He's spoken candidly about his experience, and about the importance of men checking their balls regularly. In this episode of 5 Minutes On, BBC Radio 5 Live's Nihal Arthanayake had a chat with Mikey, to hear his story. You'll also hear some advice from retired testicular cancer nurse, Sue Brand, on how to approach the conversation with your children. (Image: BBC)
