Question : I have been noticing a slight pain in the shaft of my peins almost like pulled muscle pain. Noticed more when I urinate. Its not excruciating just noticeable and concerning. So I followed the shaft of my penis using pressure all the way to the base and further inside my body and can feel a small hard lump on the left side which seems to feel as if that's where the pain is coming from. Not sure if it is supposed to be there but I don't seem to feel it on the right side. The pain only started about a 3-4 days ago.
