HECK x cahonas
We're proud to be teaming up with Cahonas for our special edition CHECK! Chicken Italia Chipolatas, designed to encourage men to prioritise their health and check themselves regularly.
Our packs of CHECK! mean a lot to us here at HECK. One of our Co-Founders, Jamie Keeble, was diagnosed with testicular cancer at just 24. With courage and determination, Jamie got checked, received the treatment he needed, and today, he’s a reminder that early action saves lives. Jamie’s journey highlights the importance of raising awareness and keeping the conversation around men’s health open.
How to CHECK!
The easiest way to check your balls is standing up, after a hot shower
or bath (when the scrotum is relaxed). You might find a mirror helps!
Check one
Cup your testicles in the palm of your hand and feel their weight.
Often people’s testicles are different sizes, or one hangs lower. But they shouldn’t feel heavier or larger than usual.
Check two
Use both hands to examine each testicle for up to a minute. Place your index and middle finger under the scrotum, with your thumb on top. Gently roll each testicle between your fingers, checking for lumps or swelling. It should feel firm, not hard.
Check three
- A hard lump (often pea-sized) on the front or side of a testicle
- Swelling or enlargement of a testicle
- Unusual hardness in a testicle
- Pain, heaviness or unusual discomfort in the scrotum or testicles
