Hello my name is Dr. Susan Jewell. Now in this clip we're going to show you how to do
the Self Testicular Exam or the T.S.E. and in I'm going to show you actually how to palpate
the *** and also how to cup or hold the *** in your hand in the cupping position.
So here we have eggs, that's going to substitute for the *** and it's in a plastic bag
and the plastic bag is going to represent the scrotal sac. So when you're actually doing
the examination you're going to hold one ***, examine one *** at a time. And you're
going to hold the one *** in this cupping position in both your hands so look at the
way I've positioned my hands like in a cup formation and the testicles resting in this,
in this a cupping shape of the hands. And we're going to use the thumb and the index
finger and the middle finger as I mentioned and we're going to do the palpating around.
And you keep moving around and feeling with a medium pressure, not to hard pressure and
not too soft. All around palpating the *** on the surface and at the same time while
you're palpating you're feeling for lumps a any kind of irregularities on the surface
of the ***. And also to and you're going to observe to see if you see any redness or
discoloration. So this is what you do when you actually doing the a T.S.E. or the Testicular
Self Exam. You'll repeat the same thing with the other *** and a you still use just
rest the *** in your cupping position using the appropriate fingers and you're going
to feel around. So you do that and you note down any signs or any irregularities that
you noticed.
