Hi Doc,
I am a 30 years old healthy male. I have good sex drive and indulge in sex and masturbation very often, almost daily. I have noticed small bumps on my penis head and small nodules on my scrotum since last couple of years.
I have seen couple of posts on the similar issue but posting my problem again as i just want to be sure about it.
I would like to attach pics of the region but i dont know how to do it or if it is allowed here. I will try to explain as best as i can, below.
There are two parts to the problem -
1. Since last couple of years I have noticed small bumps/nodules on my scrotum. If I stretch the skin and look very closely, i see numerous small bumps(which i initially thought were hair roots or something). However some of these grew bigger, maybe around 2-3 mm in diameter and thats when I thought of consulting the doc. These bumps/warts(?) normally didn't increase in size after they reached 3mm or so. Also, there is no pain when i press them.
Also, some of them, when smaller in size, used to secrete pus-like substance when I tried to burst them by pressing. But i dont think it is pus as it was semi solid. The bigger ones, since i wasnt able to burst them by pressing, i went to a doctor.
As per the doc, the bumps on my scrotum were 'sebacious cysts'(i hope i got the spelling right) and were 'harmless'. He suggested me to go ahead with surgical removal ONLY for cosmetic reasons, which i did. The med team removes 3 of them. However, again after 1 year or so, i have noticed that these cysts coming on my scrotum with the same symptoms.
2. There are very small white bumps on the head of my penis. I never noticed them earlier so i do not know if they been around for years or are a recent facet of my penis. Again these are painless and seem to contain white-pale white semi solid fluid which comes out if i press and burst anyone of these.
When i am erect and my glans are swollen(thanks to my wife), these bumps are easily noticable. Also, recently I have seem some of them turn reddish in colour, but there is no pain at all. However, i feel(and i may be wrong here) that with these bumps, my penis head has become more sensitive.
For both of these issues, I have the following questions -
- Is this normal? (i dont think so its normal, but still would like to get your expert opinion)
- Can these be caused due to excessive masturbation or stimulation of genitals without using a lubricant?
- Do i need to bother about these and get them removed again?
- Can this condition with transferred to my sexual partner?
- Could this be genetic and is it possible for my children to be affected by the same.
I would really appreciate if you could take some time out to reply to these and ease my tension a bit.
Thanks a ton !
Geeemale.
