New pain in new location. Need advice.

[Douglas Hall]

A few weeks ago, I started noticing pain where the shaft and the head meet in the center of my penis.
I first started when my penis bent slightly when flaccid, then subsequently when getting an erection.
When the blood starts to flow in, and the erection first begins to rise up, there is pain for a brief moment (like someone sticking me with a sharp needle.)

I felt around a bit, and there seems to be a bead (like a very small marble) or lump centrally located,
starting near the end of the shaft, and into about the middle of the head of my penis.

I asked my Urologist who said I might be feeling some fibrotic tissue at the very end of the Corpora Cavernosa.
He said there is nothing I could do about it. When asked, he said it would be a very slim chance that it was tumor of any sort.

I followed up with my GP, who quickly felt around the area, but never pinpointed it and said not to worry.

While I don't like the idea of having another plaque, I am still not assured that it not something else.
Neither doctor wanted to do any further testing, so I am a bit concerned.

I feel, and maybe they are right to a degree, that once you have Peyronie's Disease, then all symptoms are from that disease.

What is the center of the glans supposed to feel like anyway? I never did much exploration before I was diagnosed, now I micro-manage everything!
Unfortunately, I sometimes have no comparison to a a pre-Peyronie's condition.

Thanks guys, needed to vent!
Hope you have some input.

Are you consistent with your oral treatment and VED?
How long time you are on the medications and supplements?

Fairly consistent with oral treatments. I would say 90% compliant, sometimes I fall asleep before taking my last dose.
I am on week 4 of VED, had to pause for about 3 weeks after starting the first time to wait for pain to subside. (Pain was in a different location, and is gone.)

Just starting traction. New lump started before traction.

Wish your pain will subside shortly.
Pentox and CoQ10 are the best choices for it in my opinion

Hey Douglas are you on pentox? Difficult or new plaques I think are the best candidate for pentox or high dosage pentox for a prolonged period of time.

I wish I had a better answer for you. Those who are prone to Peyronie's may have more problems down the road, so it's best to be very careful with your penis until the process has seemed to have ended, or inflammation is down.

Is the "marble" on the underside of your glans? If so, it could be a cyst of some kind or (hate to say this), penile cancer, which can present itself as a lump on the underside of the urethra.

The best bet is as your uro suggests. Can you see a specialist and did you get an ultrasound?

Hi James,

I am on the Pentox 400mg, 3 times daily and Ubiquinol 200mg twice daily.
Thank you for the well wishes.

Neo,

I can't place exactly where it is. If I follow the shaft of my penis in the center all the way up towards the head of my penis, once I am 1/3 of the way past the rim of the head (now feeling the head itself) I feel the lump. I can't tell if it is above or below the urethra, it feels like it is in the middle when I squeeze.

I fear Penile Cancer, my Urologist said it would be a 1 in a million occurrence, since he has never seen it present there.
Still, he did not order a test to confirm or deny.

Well, we are only speculating at this point, it could be potentially be something other than scar tissue, but that seems to be unlikely. I would see a specialist and get a definite diagnosis. Keep your eye on it but don't over press it.

Even at 27 I fear penile cancer terribly given all my urethral problems, man!

Anyway, my only advice is keep up pentox, maybe VED, try heat, don't press it too hard and see a specialist for ultrasounds.

It probably is as your doctors have said, just another plaque. I started off with only one lump, I now have seven including one cord-like plaque site. Two of them are located in the location you describe, underside of the penis right where shaft meets glans. The lumps have caused my glans to point downwards, but are the source of very little pain. I find the painful lumps are the ones towards the base of the penis.

Hi Douglas,

I can't place exactly where it is. If I follow the shaft of my penis in the center all the way up towards the head of my penis, once I am 1/3 of the way past the rim of the head (now feeling the head itself) I feel the lump. I can't tell if it is above or below the urethra, it feels like it is in the middle when I squeeze.

I asked my Urologist who said I might be feeling some fibrotic tissue at the very end of the Corpora Cavernosa.

I've got two lumps, one of them is exactly in the same spot you describe, with the same behaviour.

Probably the lump is situated between the two corpus Cavernosum and, as your doctor says, at their end. That's the reason why you, as I do, feel like the lump is centered and kind of moving, depending of how much engorged the penis is at that moment.

When my penis is in flaccid state, I can palpate the lump in the shaft. When it is semi erect, the lump "moves" inwards the glans, and I can feel it under the glans itself, close to the rim of the head.

This second lump I talk about, appeared 3 months later than the first (which is situated in the medial right side). Many folks here, me included, have seen how new lumps appear in other areas as time goes by since they were diagnosed.

This is frustrating and sometimes one needs to vent his worries.
Cheer up!
