Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

The signs of testicular cancer are the following
(i) Increase in the size of one or both the testis
(ii) Firm to hard testis on palpation
(iii) Painless lumps in the groin which might be lymph nodes
(iv) Non healing wound over the scrotum

Genital hair at 14 years age differs in every person and it is the start of puberty and therefore even a small amount of hair might be normal for you.

A prostate exam is unlikely to be done every year in a person at your age. The sperm sample is also not a regular test done in children at 14 years of age. Please discuss this with the doctor and proceed as recommended.
