I saw a thread earlier talking about cancer and i wanted to ask,what are common indicators?

Well, first of all, it is recommended that men do a physical "check" of that area every month or so. if there is ANY abnormalities, you should see a doctor, but, it may not always be cancer. Indicators inculde a change in the amount of semen one can produce. Also it can affect ones sex drive

Mine feels like a sack of worms and it is strange.

It could be something like a varicocele, a harmless condition in which the veins in the ball sack swell and stretch. varicoceles usually feel like a sack of worms in your ball sack. varicoceles occur in roughly 15% of teenagers.

Never-the-less, If you notice something abnormal with your balls, Go to a doctor, they can confirm any of your worries.

Cancer of the testicles, also known as testicular cancer, is an uncommon type of cancer that primarily affects younger men.
The most common symptom of testicular cancer is a painless lump or swelling in the testicles. Other symptoms can include:
- a dull ache in the scrotum (the sac of skin that hangs underneath the penis and contains the testicles)
- a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum

I would recommend reading the entire article, because it's fairly interesting and should tell you exactly what to do.
