3. Reducing Chemical Toxin Exposure
One thought about testicular cancer is that it may be caused by phthalates as well as other compounds that disrupt the endocrine system. Phthalates are chemicals that mimic hormones and are often used in household items such as plastics, carpets, pesticides, toiletries, car upholstery, and pharmaceutical drugs.
These chemicals are harmful for male reproductive health and can cause a deformation of the penis, infertility, undescended testicles, and may be a factor in the development of testicular cancer. Women who are pregnant should also avoid contact with these environmental chemicals as much as possible. It is possible that exposure while in the womb is one of the causes for the rise in testicular cancer rates.
The abnormal changes that cause testicular cancer to happen during the first few months when the fetus is developing. Avoiding these chemicals while you are pregnant can help reduce the risk of developing testicular cancer.
