What Could Lumps In Penis Suggest?

hi i am 18 and for as long as i can remember i have had a ball shaped lump thing attached to the skin connecting the head of my penis to the shaft (i think its called the frenulum). I am uncircumsised and it is only noticible when i pull back the skin and mostly noticible when i am erect. Any idea what this could be?

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
If I were your treating Doctor for this case of penile lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.     a developmental vascular knot
2.     The second possibility is of a mucosal tag
3.     The last possibility is of some benign cyst or benign tumor / tumor like condition
     
Overall, it could be some normal variant and not worry about this but caution and medical examination warranted as this may cause massive bleeding during sex!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
