As it turns out, home pregnancy tests can detect testicular cancer. These pregnancy tests detect beta human chorionic gonadotropin. This is an indicator of pregnancy, but also testicular cancer. The man who took the test went to the doctor and discovered that yes, he had a small tumor in his right testicle. What started out as a joke likely saved his life or, at the very least, enabled him to get medical help sooner than he otherwise would have. Pregnancy tests may not detect cancer in all cases (or even in most cases), but if any man takes a test and it is positive, they should go to a doctor. Not that it’s exactly normal for guys to be taking pregnancy tests…
