Large Bump on Penis Shaft
by OnlineQuestion, Mar 07, 2007 12:00AM
Hello,
I have a condition that has concerned me over the last few weeks and any advice would be appreciated. I have noticed recently what appears to be two large bumps on the shaft of my penis. These can best be described as "vien" like. They are skin colored, don't hurt and are not producing a discharge of any sort. The strange thing is I can only see and feel them when I have an erection, they seem to dissapear when I don't have one. One seems to have the shape of a vien and has been there for about a week. I just noticed another one last night on the other side of my penis and it is about the size of a dime when I am erect. Any idea what might be going on? To say the least I am a bit concrened.

Penile vein thrombosis can cause the symptoms you describe. Typically, they are not dangerous, and can resolve with conservative therapy like NSAIDs.
If the symptoms continue, a referral to a urologist can be considered to remove the lesion.
To confirm the diagnosis, an ultrasound of the affected area can be considered.
These options can be discussed with your personal physician, or in conjunction with a urologist.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
