Have Lymph Node In Penis. Had Surgery For The Same Earlier But It Repeats. What Is The Permanent Solution?

I have had a lymph node burst on the right side and back a bit of my testicles and have had surgery to get this drained three times but it keeps fulling with liquid and becoming tender again. Is there anything that I can do to get rid of this problem once and for all? Or is there another way to control the problem? Surgery is extremely painfull and recovery periods are long

Hi there ~

I understand your concern. You should visit with a dermatologist if it does not help to keep the area dry and clean because of your testicular swelling. It is easier to get a surgical opinion as it could easily be a problem with varicocoele of the testes which is causing this. I hope you give it a serious thought. It would be suggested to use local antiviral cream as well. I am thinking that you might be able to get it over the counter i.e. acyclovir cream. Also getting a screen for STDs would be helpful as I do not have your entire history. I hope this helps.

Take care and have a lovely day!
