Man takes pregnancy test as a joke, discovers he has testicular cancer

[Download]

[quote]A POPULAR online community has helped a man discover a testicular tumour after he joked about a positive result on his girlfriend's pregnancy test.

The man drew more than 1000 comments on Reddit when he submitted a web comic illustrating his funny experience of testing positive when he took an unused pregnancy stick for a spin.

He was obviously alarmed when the test returned a positive result - indicated by two pink lines - joking that he was shocked to learn he was a pregnant man.

But one keen-eyed reader alerted him to the very real and serious possibility that the result was in fact no joke.

"You may have testicular cancer! Get to an oncologist, tell them you took a pregnancy test and it came out positive," one person wrote.

The man took his advice and his doctor discovered a small tumour on the man's right testicle.

Apparently some testicular cancers produce the same hormone, beta hCG, tested for by pregnancy kits.

Bit unexpected

Woah nelly, that's gotta be scary. The science of hormones is fascinating, though.

It's just cute that he doesn't know how home pregnancy tests work.

Things like this is why you have to like the internet sometimes. They probably just saved this man a lot of trouble

No you lacerate your anatomy (in this case you urethera) and let the combination of blood and urine soak together inside your body for at least an hour, often afterwards microwaving the stick to achieve blending of the elements

It's common knowledge

To be fair, I didn't know until I was like 18.

Then again, I was a homeschooled kid so I learn everything of the ACTUAL world from the internet.

Better to catch something odd like that than not.

Why not just go get yourself checked for testicular cancer.

Sounds like the plot to a House M.D. episode.

Because I have to work 5 hours and make ~ 275 sandwiches to pay for one copay. I intend to do it properly, but this could tell me whether or not I should make it an immediate investment.

[QUOTE=0FucksGiven;38366063]how fucking sheltered are you[/QUOTE]

I don't think sheltering is the cause

after all sex education is poor in many states, and it's not like a male would ever need to know how to use a pregnancy test
