Pregnancy Test diagnosis testicular cancer!
Gentlemen, have you ever found your lady's pregnancy tests and thought it would be fun to "pee on the stick"? That's just what one very bored guy did when he came across his exes tests. And guess what? It came up positive!
He told a friend and figured it was a funny mistake. His friend also thought it was funny and decided to spread the word virally. Once the story was posted, comments were posted urging the guy to see his doctor. After being urged several times, he finally took the suggestion.
The doctor confirmed that he indeed was not pregnant but that it was a good idea for him to come in. Sadly, his false positive came from testicular cancer.
Pregnancy tests detect the amount of the hormone beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in an individual’s urine. While the hormone is produced by the developing placenta during pregnancy, it can also be associated with testicular cancer, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Thankfully, his tumor was found early and it was a very easy procedure. The tumor has been successfully removed.
