Patient's question:
There are worm-like elevations on the penis, extending from the foreskin to the base, sometimes noticeable and sometimes completely invisible. They are present both when erect and when not, accompanied by some discomfort and pain. Previously, a penile ultrasound was performed, which showed no abnormalities in the blood vessels. The suspicion is lymphangitis of the penis, as there are some red spots on the glans, which may indicate a contagious condition. However, I am not entirely sure, as the extent of the length seems a bit too long, not the approximately 2 centimeters mentioned at night. Over the past week, I have been persistently washing with hot water daily and applying a compound clotrimazole cream, and the symptoms have shown some relief. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on your symptoms, there's no issue here. It doesn't seem to be contagious, as some normal people can also experience it again. The weakness is in the blood vessels—this is related to blood vessels, and some people can develop it. It's not contagious. Erection pain is generally not much related to this, and medication is not necessary. For those with a foreskin, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If not treated promptly, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
