Best Answer

A testicular exam is when you roll your testicles around in your hands to feel for potential cancer/tumors.

Is it important? Yes, however it is not as important as breast exams for women, since breast cancer is more common than testicular cancer. It can also lead to hypochondria, so don't do it unless you're sure that you are comfortable with it.
