Patient's question:
Recently, I've felt something hard on my penis. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it's a penile nodule. I've never had this disease before, but recently during sexual activity, I've felt some pain when my penis is erect. I'd like to consult an expert: can penile nodules be treated?Doctor's answer:
The nodule of the penis can be cured, but it requires surgical removal. If surgical removal is not performed, it may lead to future sexual dysfunction. Approximately two weeks after the surgery, the stitches can be removed, and normal sexual activity can be resumed. However, during the treatment period, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited. It is important to promptly change the dressing on the wound, maintain good hygiene in the perineal area, and avoid consuming excessively spicy foods that may interfere with wound healing.
