not your normal "bump" on penis question

Posted by boostede36

First off, i want to say i have searched EXTENSIVELY for the exact issue i have and have been flooded with similar yet not the same scenarios (cysts, peyronies, PPP's, plaque..etc..none of which fit my description).

Me:
27, 2 sexual partners in last 6 years,in long term relationship now, with little sex and too much masturbation
-very active and fit, no history of STDs

The symptoms:
-BB sized bump on right side of penis (about the size of a pepper ball). Halfway up the penis shaft when erect..NOT right below the head like others have.Nor is it near the base.
-Tends to be smaller when flaccid, grows with erection
-it can move slightly but not attached to outside of skin, it's underneath
-when pressed on does not reduce in size
-painless, colorless
-sometimes its not there and read below for how i can make it "disappear"

When did it happen
-after an extended period of vigorous masturbation. It gradually became more prominent and began to really notice it right around where my fingers end when im gripping my shaft.
-i've had it for over 6-8 months now
-saw my GP he said it was nothing to be concerned about & couldn't feel it at the time on my flaccid penis. He said we could ultrasound it but that would probably be inconclusive.

Now the kicker..
i have what appears to be almost a horizontal elevated area (under skin) right around where the bump shows up on the right side (coincidence,don't think so)..it appears to be almost like a hernia (i mean obviously i cant see it).but if i press the bump into the right spot around this area the bump goes away completely..almost like it goes into the "torn area". You can press on the bump in the wrong spot and it sticks around..i found you have to almost pull the skin tight toward the tip of the penis and then press on it with your thumb around the area and it will disappear into it. I would then masturbate and not even feel it, but it "slips" back out sometimes and comes back.
It is very difficult to get the bump to go away without an erection as finding that area is difficult.

Will this ever heal? I have not found anything on hernias on the penis shaft itself but i am almost certain that's what it is.Maybe you can tell me if you have heard of this before? It is not a PPP, nor does it seem like PD at all from the numerous articles i have read, it's not a cyst (no discoloring or pain), nor does it seem like plaque as it grows with erection. Would this require surgery to fix?

I have an unhealthy addiction to masterbaition i'll admit, and i'm positive that's what cause this. Sometimes i'll masturbate for hours, even if it's just squeezing my penis between my thumb and fingers, which is what i think caused this and another problem i just got.

The second problem i am fairly confident is sclerosing lymphangitis which you have described in numerous other posts. After a prolonged masturbation yesterday, i felt a hard guitar-string-like lymph vessel appear on the top side of my penis extending from the pubic base to the top of my foreskin (i am circumcised), a little to the right of center but not much (can you please tell me what this lymph vessel is called so i can refer to it when i get my appointment to a urologist?). After the masturbation, the corona area swelled..not excessively but i could tell by looking at it..and now i feel this guitar string like vessel is quite prominent even when penis is soft. I read that i should stop masturbation and sex, and hope it goes away. It's colorless(not blue or red or anything) and feels about the diameter of the third guitar string.

My penis is falling apart what the hell do i do? Can you answer some of the question i have in bold please? This has been weighing on me heavily and affecting my person life at home and work.

THANK YOU SO MUCHView Thread

Posted by Wonderpickle

Hello,

I'm going to get straight into it. My symptoms are as follows: When urinating, a milky-like substance exits with the urine. It comes at random times during the stream at each event, at the start, middle, or end. The discharge is then accompanied by sharp pain which seems to emanate from inside at the base and along the shaft. After discharge, the feel for needing to urinate continues, and I am able to urinate small amounts afterwards. When urinating these small amounts, the pain comes back to very high levels (Around a 7-9 out of 10.) The duration of the pain and feel of needing to urinate fade anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours later. The problem is intermittent, going away for weeks/months before cropping up again. This problem has been plaguing me for about eight to ten years.

I have been to numerous urologists and taken numerous tests. Each answer from each specialist is different. Here are some of the tests I've found from my records:

Bladder probe (came up normal)
24 hour urine catch (I'll post these findings after this list)
Clean-catch specimen (^)
24 hour urine catch for protein(?)
STD test (came back negetive)
Checked multiple times for kidney stones(negetive)

I was able to do a clean-catch of the milky substance. I took it into my doctor, where he found amorphous crystals in it. The doctor told me that they form when my Ph urine is too acidic. He then mentioned that my urine was at a 8.5 on the Ph scale. I do not claim to know much about Ph, but wouldn't that mean that my urine was at the opposite end of the spectrum? The doctor didn't have an answer as to why, and referred me along to another, younger urologist that would 'chase' the problem more effectively.

This next urologist met with me, heard my symptoms, and pulled up a google image search on urine. I looked for another urologist.

I found another urologist who told me that I need to stop eating potato chips and pizza and all that garbage. He prescribed me two books for better eating habits with no additional testing.

The last urologist we met with did more urine samples and analysis. He also did a bladder probe that came up normal. After a few more visits, I saw his staff rather than the doctor himself and felt more like a paycheck to be collected.

I am utterly frustrated with how this has gone. I've tried changing my diet, exercising more, drinking way more water than I usually do, and trying to find another urologist who would actually keep with the problem rather than dropping me.

I'm including a quick copy of my urine macros and microscopics from my records. These are the ones they had on file for me:

Macro:

Microscopics:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B5-nFk0B6XS0WDFSVEI5Y0hiUmM

I do hope someone could shed some light on this.View Thread

Posted by An_249039

I am 41 yo, and I went through months of intense sex and masturbation.

Last session lasted abt. 2 hours, and I felt pain during ejaculation: the following morning there was no way to make it hard. For a few days my penis couldn't get hard, only for very short moments.

Terrified, I went to a top urologist, who touched my penis and immediately diagnosed me with "penis fibrosis" and he found varicose veins 3rd degree in my left testicle.
He prescribed me with daily:
- cialis 5mg
- ezerex (L-Arginina, di Propionil-L-Carnitina e di Vitamina B3)

I started the treatement, and I had no erection problem with cialis, but my penis was still quite painful.

I went to see another urologist to have a second opinion, and this one minimized the fibrosis, and found me acute prostatitis (I felt an incerdible pain when he touched my prostate). And prescribed me a huge dose of antibiotics for abt a month (I am almost done, but prostatitis symptoms are still there).
He also prescribed me a dynamic color doppler, which found a small formation of 3x5 mm. in my penis.
Then he wanted to inject bentalan weekly in my penis, but I refused and started to do research.

I found 2 specialists in Italy that treat peyroine and fibrosis, and took appointment with both (I will see one in 1 week and the other in one month).

I did quit cialis because one morning I had to go to hospital due to an incredible pain in my dick after 1 hour sex.
Also, after ejaculation, it takes quite a long time before it gets soft again, giving me some priapism paranoia every time. Also, during the night I sometimes wake up with a painful erection that taes some time to leave.

Right now my penis is much much bigger, larger and rigid when flaccid. Even though at times is soft, is still larger, and veins are getting larger and blue. I feel it especially harder on the left side, where there is a slight part that changed shape, with a swallen vein-like part going from below to top on the side. And I feel pain n the left side at the base.
I do get erectile disfunction time to time still. But then the following day is gone.
Also my penis is much less sensitive than before. And my sex drive is greatly decreased.
I have pain occasionally, I guess also due to prostatitis, near the glande, and at the attachment on both sides, on the upper part.
And also suffer from anxiety, light insomnia, and light depression.
Also, I have pain in the perineal area if I sit down long time. And if I stand up long time my penis gets flac

At the moment my treatment is:
- Propolberry daily (berry + propolis)
- 800Mg vit. E
- Antibiotics as prescribed by urologist (almost complete)
- spasmomen + topster suppository for intestine (urologist said that prostatitis was caused by intestin)
- B12 1000Mg
- piascledine, 6 pills per day
- ezerex

My questions are:
- should I continue the cialis treatement?
- how should I deal with sex? Can I continue? Should I limit myself?
- may the 3 things (testicle veins, prostatitis, and fibrosis) be related to each other?
- I feel frequently like a "buzzing" inside my penis, like a mobile phone vibrating, what could be the cause?
- How should I deal with the specialists? The one who found prostatitis clearly doesnt know how to deal with injuries and peyroine (in spite of his academic titles), the other one, found fibrosis, but didnt bother to check my prostate.
- How should I deal with excercise? When I do my routine of run and weight lifting, I feel my penis heavy. Is it bad?View Thread
