                                    Brief Answer:
Ultrasound of testicles and PSA levels.
Detailed Answer:
Hello ,
If you suspect you may have testicular cancer you may need to do an ultrasound of the testicles.
Also you should check PSA levels in blood which is a marker for testicular cancer.
These tests will clarify for sure if you have cancer or not.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.

Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
I see the picture you attached of the t-shaped paper and there is nothing strange or hazardous.
The 2.5 ng levels can be considered normal for your age. No ultrasound needed in this case.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
Testicular exam is very simple. Examine one testicle at a time, roll it with fingers , find epididymitis which is a tube structure that transport sperm, look for lumps and structural issues.
PSA value of 2.5 is normal for your age.
About hitting your head , put ice on it and use acetaminophen for pain.
