Gestational hypertension and testicular cancer: where’s the connection?
You would think these two conditions - gestational hypertension and testicular cancer - can’t have anything to do with each other. After all, they are completely separated by the gender divide (bar in transgenders, of course).
Well, it seems that there is a connection between these two and it started rather early - in the uterus in fact. According to this Swedish study, “women who experience severe gestational hypertension may give birth to boys at lower risk for testicular cancer.”
