Suggest Treatment For Cyst In The Penile Glans In A Diabetic With Chronic Hydronephrosis
Question: Couple of days back, after masturbation, i noticed a small painless lump of skin on the side behind the glans. There was no irritation at all. However, after 2 days i happen to see this lump formed under the foreskin. I have been circumcised and never had this lump formed in the past. When i consulted a general physician, i was said that its a cyst and has to be removed by a surgery. The issue is that I'm diabetic and have chronic hydronephrosis. Need a suggestion if i need to have to go through this surgery to get the painless prominent lump removed or just ignore it.

Hello Dr. XXXXXXX
Thanks for the briefing out the details to me. How soon should i get this removed? I'm in a situation wherein i cant afford to take leave from work for next 10 days. Will this delay pose any issue/threat? Will intercourse/masturbation trigger the growth of the cyst to other areas or is it okay to involve in intercourse as it is painless? Not that i want to participate in intercourse with this kind of situation but wanted to know the outcome of doing do. Im trying my best to avoid erection as im afraid that the cyst may spread out. Thanks for your time.
