A bulge on penis when erect

Hi,
I notice a bulge on the right side of my penis shaft when masturbating, there is no change in colour or texture when i touch it, and it is on the right side of the upper third of the penis. Nothing could be noticed under the skin, just a bulge that makes the skin on the right side thicker than the one on the left. Also, there is another lump on the "dorsal" side of the penis, and a little bit to the right ( which makes it close to the first one), but this one is small (sesame size), concentrated, has a bit of a colour, and i can feel it under the skin when i touch it. Both of them cause no pain, and both of them I only see/feel when erect.

what could this be? and what should I do?

Hello,
It can be due to varicose vein penis. The varicose vein on the penis does not require any treatment. It may bruise during sexual intercourse and thus wearing of a condom is highly recommended.Also use of lubricants is recommended during masturbation or during sexual intercourse to avoid bruising the vein. No other treatment is required.In fact most of the treatment like laser treatment will cause scarring,infection,nerve and vascular damage.So in my opinion,you should leave them as such.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
