What Does A Nodular Growth At The Shaft Of The Penis Indicate?

Posted on Mon, 20 Nov 2023

Question: I have a small nodular growth that isn't painful or causing any symptoms but initially was in the middle of the shaft of my penis and feels like it has migrated closer towards the base of the shaft. It is internal so I can't do anything but feel it. Again, it isn't causing any symptoms or problems, I just am not sure if it's something that could be normal or if I need to go see a doctor.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history well and understood your concerns.
Nodular growth in the shaft pf penis now feeling like migrated closure towards base but not causing any symptoms in a young male of 23 may not be of much concerns like cancer or so.
Please give some additional information for me to assist you better:
Since when is the growth present/
Is it in line with a vein?
Is it easily XXXXXXX under the skin and over the shaft or sort of fixed to any of the structures?
Any other information that you would like to share?
Awaiting...

It doesn't feel like it's in line with any veins, if I had to guess it's location, it feels deep to my urethra but midline, almost between the spongiosum and cavernosum tissues. Because it isn't superficial, it is hard to tell if it seems fixed to any structures but when I palpate it, it doesn't seem to move easily. I don't have any sort of penile discharges, hematuria, changes in urination, erectile dysfunction, or any other penis-related problems so I'm not sure what I might be feeling and where it might be if it hasn't been causing any problems. I am sexually active and have been in a monogamous relationship for two years but only first noticed this mass within the last few months.
