Harrumph! Give the ad guys some credit eh? Have you considered they're looking in shock at a negative test? This is the kind of story i'd 'click to learn more'
Not necessarily. Once, a redditor got his life saved from that. He posted a Rage Comics post (shows you how long ago this was) where he decided to take one of his girlfriend's pregnancy tests as a goof, and it showed up as positive. The commenters told him that's a sign of cancer, so he got tested, and sure enough, he had a very early stage of cancer, that was so early, it could be nipped in the bud with minimal to no complications.
Yeah. Genuinely not fun. Apologies if my initial comment came off as glib.
Some types of testicular cancers produce HCG, which is what most pregnancy tests identify the presence of in urine. HCG could also be used as a treatment method for hypogonadism, but supplementation of exogenous Luteinizing Hormone with LHRH would be a more direct way of both diagnosing and treating hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
Anyways, if anyone who reads this ever notices something strange on their testis, talk to a doctor. Peeing on a stick isn't a reliable way of identifying testicular cancer, as many forms won't produce HCG and the negative result on the pregnancy test could lead to a false reassurance.
If the people in that ad need a test to figure out if the wife/gf is pregnant then I have a bridge to sell them!
The tagline says "for when you want to be sure" so I'm pretty sure it's a bit
she just has a boulder sized tumor in her stomach and is making sure she isnt also pregnant ok

Cancer.
sorry?
A cis man testing positive for a pregnancy test is a sign of cancer. Either prostate or testicular, don't remember which.
oh, that took a dark turn 😶

On the other hand it was a redditor who survived.
yeah but still that makes the punchline of the joke "he has cancer". Not a good joke.
