What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Testicles While Smoking Marijuana?

When I smoke marijuana I experience a tingling sensation in my testicles. I check my testilces for lumps regualy and I do not have any lumps that I can feel. My testilces do not hurt when I am not high/smoking marijuana Could marijuana increase my risk of testicular cancer.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, Marijuana smoking increases risk of prostate cancer.
Not only Marijuana, any smoke can cause prostate cancer. Smoke contains teratogenic chemicals which causes gene mutation and thus increases risk of cancer.
So better not to take Marijuana smoking further.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
