bumps underneath the shaft of penis Posted: 05-28-08 21:42pm
Hi doctor,
I'm male, circumcised, 22 years old, and
with my girlfriend, 15 days ago, I had a
sexual intercourse that was somewhat
rough. I felt that my condom broke,
however I didn't stop. The next day my
groin was swollen on the right side of my
shaft and on the lower center side of
shaft as well. I thought it was due to
hard friction, so i decided to wait for a
while hoping it would recede. One week
later the swelling did recede, however
underneath the shaft skin, where swellings
used to be, there is one firm bump, 1 mm
in diameter, located on the right side of
the shaft; and cluster of 4-5 smaller
bumps on the bottom center of the shaft.
They are not painful, do not cause itching
and there is no any kind of discoloration.
These bumps are underneath the skin and
are able to move along with the shaft as
they do not seem to be attached to penis
itself. However, they do seem to get
harder when my groin is erected. Could
this be sign of HIV? I'm very worried,
didn't sleep in days and I would very
appreciate your answer.

There is no need to worry!
The bumps you have are probably
lymphocele, swelling due to blockage of
the lymphatic channels in the penis,
usually following prolonged or especially
energetic intercourse or masturbation.
Swellings then gradually subside over few
days or a week, but, if one of the blocked
lymphatic channels clots up, the swelling
doesn't go down and it stays as a hard
area, which can be easily felt ( I guess
as in your case)
Are the swellings cord-like?
Best wishes!
Marija

Hi Marija,
Thank you so much for your response, I
really really appreciate it.
Yes the intercourse was prolonged, very
energetic on moments and this group of
bumps on the center of shaft does appear
to be cord like. They are very small and
can be hardly noticed, but I can feel it
while my groin is erected. When my groin
is not erected, the skin in this area
looks slightly thickened. Same goes for
the single bump located on the right side
of shaft.
Will this ever go away by itself? It's
been 16 days now, 9 since I noticed these
bumps, and they are still there.
best regards,
matt

You are welcome!
It is caused by temporary blockage of the
lymphatic channels, so, it will go away on
its own, and there are no after-effects.
You can try to message it gently to help
it subside.

@Z51
No I haven't tried topical creams. Since
these bumps are underneath the skin, I
guessed creams won't to much to remove
them. Thank you however for your input.
@Marija
What you do in here is very noble of you
and I wish you best of luck in your career
and your life.
Thank you.
