Testicles make and store sperm. The organs are located below the penis in a pouch called the scrotum. Most testicular cancers begin in sperm-producing cells known as germ cells. The two most common types are seminomas and non-seminomas. The latter of these spreads quickly. Patients often notice a heavy feeling in the scrotum. Seek medical attention right away if you notice any of these symptoms.
