I Have a Question About a Lump near the base of my shaft. Posted: 08-07-07 13:34pm
About a few months ago after masterbation
I noticed a rather large lump that had
appeared near the base of my shaft. It
was rather red, but didnt hurt to the
touch. By the next morning it had gotten
to about half of its size. When I noticed
it the first time it looked exactly like a
picture of a lymphocele I had seen once.
However it was not near the head of the
penis and it was long from north to south.
I am only 16 years old and feel fine. By
this time the lump is not even noticable
and is about the size and shape of a small
grain of rice.
I am a hypochondriac so you can imagine
how much this must worry me. It however
never really hurts unless I mess with it.
I am worried it could be cancer but a few
things make me think it is not. One it is
getting smaller. ever since day one I
have noticed a gradual change in size.
Also it is not really hard. I cannot
really tell the difference seing as it is
much smaller now, but originally it seemed
to be full of fluid and was easily
squished and moved around.
However a few things confuse me. The lump
seems to be attached to my skin. It also
gets slightly bigger when I have an
erection.
I have a physical soon and get it checked
out but if anyone has any opinion on what
it might be I would really be
appreciative.
