How Can An Unknown Growth Under The Penis Be Treated?

Hi. I m confused. Last Friday I noticed a growth in my scrotum. That Sunday I went to the ER. The doctor said he didn t think it s a hernia but had no clue what it is but thought nothing serious. Gave me papers about Lymph Nodes. I m scared it s cancer. I have an appointment to see a urologist on Monday. I have a 10 month old daughter and found out we re going to have another baby. The growth is not on my testicles, it s just under my penis. It s not perfectly round. I work at a chicken factory and I left and bend all day. Mostly 20 pound boxes, around 1,000 a day. 40 pound boxes, around 500. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If the growth is not attached to testis then most probably it would be spermatocele which is the cyst in the testicular tubes and it is a fairly harmless condition but i would still recommend you to get scrotal ultrasound done which would be more helpful to differentiate the swelling. Mostly the only treatment offered for spermatocele is pain management if it occurs. I would advice to check it vigilantly if it increases in size or becomes red tender and painful then you should immediately go and the urologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
