Belgian sprinter Julien Watrin has testicular cancer again: why is this disease on the rise among young men and how do you check yourself?

Belgian sprinter Julien Watrin (31) announced today at a press conference in Louvain-la-Neuve that he has testicular cancer again. Scientists see that testicular cancer is increasing in young men between the ages of 15 and 44. So you better examine your balls regularly, says urologist Piet Hoebeke. “The embarrassment of doing that or of going to the doctor if you feel something is dangerous.” The professional outlines what you would rather not feel down there, how the treatment works once you end up at the doctor, and a video shows how to best check your testicles.
