What Is The Treatment For Lymphangiosclerosis In The Penis?
Hi, I believe I have a Lymphangiosclerosis on my penis. I ve had this since I was just a child and it s never been a problem, but over the past few months it seems to have gotten harder than normal. It s approximately one inch long, irregular in shape, and feels like a piece of cartilage. Since it s gotten harder, intercourse has been a little painful. The pain is minor, and only occurs when my foreskin slips on and off my glans. The growth is not very flexible, so it catches against my glans and flips over causing the discomfort. My question is this. If this is a Lymphangiosclerosis, can it be removed by a urologist? I d like to just have it removed without having to go back and forth between doctors to get someone s approval. Thanks

Dear Customer , This is Dr. S. Tomar from healthcaremagic.com's medical team and I ll be your medical advisor for this question. First of all thank you for sharing your concern with us and showing trust on us.
In most of the cases Lymphangiosclerosis resolves on its own in few weeks but as in your case its persisting from childhood and recently has become more painful then its advisable to consult it with Andrologist or Urologist for further treatment .After a clinical examination your Andrologist will suggest you the best option possible for it's treatment . Surgically such lumps can easily be resected .
This is my initial response and discussion is open until you have any query or need further clarification.
I wish you good health .
Thank you for your question and feel free to contact further for any question .
