What Causes Discomfort Around The Urethra?

Need to rule out cancer.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Hardening or thickening at the tip of the penis especially noticed when the skin of the penis is rolled up during sex, indicates possible inflammation/ cancer.
2. Biopsy of the area is necessary, as at this age, any malignancy needs to be ruled out.
3. Close clinical examination (if you can send an image, I can try to opine) by a surgeon and later on biopsy is necessary. At present, malignancy or cancer is my main concern.
4. There appears to be nothing abnormal with the urethra. If there was any infection, there would be hematuria or pain during micturition. Both are absent. Local penis cause needs to be ruled out.
Meet your doctor.
Hope it helps.
