Patient's question:
I had a circumcision and left varicocele ligation, and now there is a small nodule, about half the size of a green bean, under the skin on the right side of the penis near the glans, which seems to be cartilage. It can be moved freely. The color is unclear, it's painless, and it has a protrusion. Besides some discomfort in the left testicle after the surgery, it doesn't hurt normally. There is no tenderness or swelling. It has been nearly 20 days since the surgery. What could this be and what help is needed: How normal are these symptoms. Solve the equation. It's urgent. I'm very upset.Doctor's answer:
The small, bean-sized lumps in the foreskin area you mentioned are likely local scars or the result of local knots. Since there is no pain, it's advisable to wait and see for now. After the high ligation surgery for varicocele, it usually takes about three months for full recovery. Therefore, if you're experiencing discomfort around 20 days post-surgery, it could be a normal part of the healing process. It's best to wait and see and get adequate rest. For severe cases of male urological conditions, it's recommended to seek immediate medical attention. Follow the doctor's advice for treatment and avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect. The above suggestions are for reference only. I hope this information helps you. Thank you.
