What Causes Painful Small Lumps On Shaft Of Penis?
Question: I have two small lumps like by my vein on the right side of the shaft of my penis. It hurts if rubbed. Almost feels like a rock in between your hand and penis. They have been there for 2-3 weeks now. I can find them with no erection but it's easy to find them with an erection. What could this be. I have not had any new sexual partner in 3 years and I've been tested for all std's a couple months ago.
Brief Answer:
Based on the information mugh be lymphangiosclerosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
Based on the information provided, might be probability of benign condition which is Lymphangiosclerosis. This is a hardened lymph vessel rather than a vein, although it is similar in shape. It feels hard to the touch even when the penis is flaccid and will be more prominent during an erection. It tends to happen in men who have vigorous sexual intercourse, prolonged masturbation, vigorous intercourse, or even confinement.
It is usually accompanied by some discomfort, especially when further irritated by additional handling.
Treatment needs leaving the area alone. That means no sex or masturbation until at least a week after it appears to be completely healed. These inflammatory situations usually disappear on their own as suddenly and mysteriously as they appear. It may take 2-4 weeks for it to go away.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely,

So it's not cancer or anything like that I should be concerned about. Like I said just feels like two tiny bee bees under my skin by the vein in the shaft on my penis.
Brief Answer:
Not to worry and follow the advise as suggested.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Good to hear from you.
Based on the information, I would have suggested not to worry and follow the advice as suggested.It will almost certainly resolve spontaneously by itself over the next few weeks.
If there are any other changes that you have noticed you will need to consult your General Physician.
Presently, I would have suggested you to wait and watch, see if it subsides, if it doesn't, you can see urologist for examination and to confirm the cause.
Hope, I have answered your query. Please accept the answer if you have no follow up queries.
Wish you good health.
