default
Posted on Mon, 9 Dec 2013
Question: 41 yr old male. I noticed a small tender lump inside the penile shaft. Approximately one inch from the head. It has increased in size since last sexual intercourse two months ago. The size now is approximately one centimeter. No change in size in last two weeks. It is in the center of the penile shaft. Does not prevent erection, but limits duration of sex and length of time in maintain erection. Erections are not occurring without physical stimulation. No pain during urination and no strange fluid. Any help is appreciated.

I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem 1) Is lump hard or soft on touch ? 2) Can you see any opening over the top of the lump.? 3)Is it freely mobile ? 4) Is erection painful?

Brief Answer: It looks like a calcified plaque. Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for feedback. It looks like to be a calcified plaque.However needs to be confirmed by clinical examination by Urologist. Since you do not have problem in penetration during sexual intercourse ,it can be left alone which is likely to get resolved itself without any treatment. Thanks and Regards. Dr.Patil.
