Suggest Treatment For Small Hard Lump On Penis
I have a small hard lump ion the shaft of my penis. If I press along it feels as though I have a hard bumpy vein which is about 3cm in length either side if the lump. It is not painful and appeared over 12 months ago but has got bigger, went to gp who gave me light examination but felt he didn t examin deep enough to feel the length of the lumpy string like whatever it is, and was too embarrassed to say. I am worried as it has been there a while now and I don t think it s normal. Thanks Gary

Hello
Thanks for query.
The 3 cm long string like lump on shaft of the penis is most likely to be a dilated tortuous tributary of superficial dorsal vein of penis .
It is not uncommon to find such dilated veins on the shaft of the penis in many individuals and has no significance at all and does not need any active intervention .
It is not going to harm your sexual activities at all.
