Hey guys, i'm seriously worried here. I have two lumps on the head of my penis that have been there for about 8 months, on and off painful. The problem is, I can't see them because i've always had a short frenulum and the skin doesn't retract. I'm very worried that it could be penile cancer. I've been to two doctors and they shrugged it off, but they can't SEE them, so they can't truly diagnose. I'm constantly anxious, it's taking over my life and I can't enjoy anything.

I'm going to see my GP on wednesday and really want him to understand how urgent this may be. I've got swollen glands in my groin also. I'm desperate for answers sooner than later. I would absolutely go through surgery to help retract the skin and then find out what it is but I don't think I can handle waiting. I'm genuinely falling apart with this, sleeping all day etc. - is there much chance i'd be able to get an urgent referral for a biopsy on the nodes or something? I've been having urinary issues and some bad hip/pelvic pain and tension as well.

Seriously appreciate your responses guys, thank you.

What doctors have you been to? Sounds a bit odd for a urologist to shrug this kind of thing off especially if you already have an issue (short frenulum or phimosis which a urologist would suggest to treat). GPs in my personal opinion are not always the best doctors. Try to get an appointment with a urologist instead.

Penile cancer occurs only in old men, so you can stop fretting about that. It’s caused by sexual contact with a person infected with HPV.

The tightness can be cured with tugging exercises done over a short period of time. Go to drelastic.com to learn what to do.

Are you sure the lumps are on the glans and not the foreskin?
