   Is any of this happening?

   Be seen today

   Contact your treatment team promptly after treatment if previous hormone-related symptoms return or you develop persistent abdominal swelling, pelvic pain, unexplained weight loss, or a new lump.

   Seek urgent medical care for sudden severe pelvic or abdominal pain, especially with nausea or vomiting.

   This can occur if an ovary twists or a tumor ruptures.

   Does any of this apply?

   Book an appointment

   Arrange a routine medical appointment if you develop new or rapidly progressing facial hair, acne, scalp hair loss, a lower voice, missed periods, persistent bloating, or ongoing pelvic discomfort.

   These symptoms usually have causes other than a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor, but they should be assessed.
