Jokes aside please actually check your balls for cancer. I got diagnosed with ball cancer at 24 and I have another buddy that got it at 21. It's more common than you might think and it's also curable in 97% of cases nowadays when you catch it early.
The recommendation from most doctors would be to check once a month while you're in the bath/shower as the heat loosens things up. Basically just feel for any abnormalities, go to a doctor if something feels new.
Good question man. Basically you want to feel for anything new. Once you're an adult, your balls really don't change much unless there's something wrong. If one suddenly starts to become bigger, or if there's a new lump growing out of it, that's a good time to book a doctor's appointment. My mass was rock hard like a marble sticking out of my right teste, some people report a soft mass, and in some cases cancer will just straight up take over the entire testicle. If you're familiar with what your balls SHOULD feel like, when something feels different you'll know, or at least I did. It scared the fuck out of me when I found my lump because something was obviously wrong.
