Doctors’ responses
Hello dear Please be aware See that lump can be any benign growth or inguinal hernia Differential diagnosis includes inguinal cyst I suggest you to please get ultrasound done for confirmation and share reports with general surgeon for better clarification Regards
Don’t worry.
See a Pediatric Urologist or General Physician They may examine the lump and suggest an ultrasound of the penis/scrotum if needed.
This will help rule out anything serious like a plaque, cyst, or fibroma.
2. Avoid forceful masturbation or pressure Excessive pressure may worsen curvature or trauma to the tissues.
3. Do Not Try to Massage or Pop the Lump It may cause infection or scar formation.
4. Track Changes Make a private journal to note any pain, changes in curve, swelling, or discomfort during urination.
A hard lump near the base of the penis, especially with pain during erection and a curve, could suggest Peyronie’s disease or scar tissue buildup, though it’s rare at 15. It might also be a cyst or another benign growth, but it needs proper evaluation. Consult a urologist soon to diagnose the cause and prevent worsening of the pain or curvature.
