Is a hard nodule on the penis a sign of penile cancer?

The penis is an important male reproductive organ. In daily life, many men find that there are many lumps on their penis, which are actually hard nodules. Because they don't know much about the nodules, they are easily associated with penile cancer, a very serious type of cancer, and often produce fear. So, are penile nodules penile cancer? Let's take a detailed look at the relationship between the two diseases.

In addition to the possibility of penile cancer, people with penile induration may also suffer from other common diseases, such as penile induration, prepuce stones and penile thrombotic phlebitis.

Generally speaking, penile induration is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. The fibrous plaques of induration mostly occur on the capsule around the corpus cavernosum of the penis, and may be chondrified or ossified. The cause of its occurrence is mostly related to vitamin C deficiency. If the penis is injured, it is also easy to promote the occurrence of induration. Usually, induration is mostly single, rarely multiple. After suffering from penile induration, the penis will bend during erection and there will be pain.

Phimosis is caused by the sebaceous glands secreting too long or the phimosis, which prevents them from being discharged and causes urine salts to accumulate. Most of the stones are brownish yellow and attached to the coronal sulcus. You can wipe off the dirt by turning up the foreskin to expose the glans and soaking it in water. If it is phimosis, you should go to the hospital for circumcision to remove the phimosis during the operation.

In the early stage of penile cancer, papules or ulcers may appear on the glans penis, which will not heal for a long time and gradually increase in size. When the foreskin cannot be turned up, there may be a tingling and burning sensation, local induration, and the tumor will increase in size to a cauliflower-like shape with redness, swelling, pain, bleeding and foul-smelling secretions. In the late stage of the disease, dysentery will appear, and surgery is the main treatment.

Penile thrombotic phlebitis is not common, and often occurs in young men. On the back of the penis, you can see cord-like or ring-shaped nodules, edema of the foreskin, and pain. It can be treated with local hot compresses, physical therapy, and antibiotics. Generally speaking, it can be cured in 1-2 weeks.

Everyone should be clear about whether hard nodules on the penis are penile cancer. Nodules actually appear in many places on our body. They are relatively common and are fundamentally different from penile cancer. Male friends do not need to worry too much. The key is to understand your condition and then treat it accordingly. In this way, you will not worry about causing greater harm to your health.
