Resolved Question: Lump on penis apparently genetic – causes curvature too?
Starting off, i’m only 19 years of age. I masturbate about 2-3 times a weeks but it varies a lot where some weeks I only do it once. About a year ago, I realised my penis was curving to the left and up during erection and immediately thought it may be peyronies. I can never recall any pain, and can still maintain full erection for even 1/2 hr. I went to see a doctor about it immediately and he examined it which had some curvature in flaccid state. The problem was, the lump is really notable straight after a full erection. He checked it and said it should go away in a few weeks and I should have nothing to worry about. A few months passed and I still kept getting the curve and the lump. Went to see a second doc who couldn’t find anything (after checks) and so he sent me for an ultrasound. The ultrasound people said my penis was perfectly normal and there was no calcification under the skin, which was a huge relief.
I played it off for a few more months but it still persisted and kept annoying me. I decided to see a 3rd doc who told me the same thing…couldn’t tell a thing. The problem was that the lump (about 2cm in diameter) only appeared after masturbation. Whilst flaccid, it only curved to the left. The 3rd doc recommended me to a urologist.
The urologist checked and he also found nothing. He confirmed there was definitely no sign of peyronie’s or thrombosis. Having no luck i decided to give up until recently. After a recent masturbation session, the lump was pretty big and painful (stinging pain at long intervals or on walking). I decided to immediately see a 4th doc the day after. Luckily the lump was still there when flaccid and it was aching. After checking it out, he told me that I have a strange case where the outer layer of left artery (I think he referred to the Tunica Albuginea in the pic) had a weak spot like a thin layer and on pressure (erection) a lump forms as blood bulges out or something rather. He said it’s a rare case too. He did suggest me to use a traction device in order to exert growth in that area and to restore the symmetry.
Does anyone have any idea on my condition? Is there a name for it? What can I actually do to rectify the problem? Would the traction device help thicken that area?
